I appreciate that R.W. Green is continuing these mysteries after M.C. Beaton's death because they are fun and fast to read. This book had more than one mystery to it, and the historical mystery was an interesting side story. I miss some of the village drama that was central to the earlier mysteries in this series, and I must say that I like Agatha less and less with each passing book.
I would recommend this to readers of cozy mysteries.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC!

I’ve remained an avid reader of Agatha Raisin mysteries ever since her first in the series about the “quiche of death”. How wonderful that she met the excellent ghostwriter R. W. Green and had him pick up future novels after her passing. He’s doing a good job of incorporating all the elements of M.C. Beaton’s cozy mysteries. Every visit with Agatha and the Cotswolds is a treasure to this reader.

Author stayed true to the style of MCBeaton. An easy fun and engaging read. Would definitely recommend to bookclubs and patrons.

I am a faithful Agatha Raisin fan but this one was disappointing. The lengthy opening with the historical mystery as well as its presence in the narrative was tedious. Sincerely hope the next in the series gets back to the spirit of earlier titles.
