At the beginning of the book I thought Agatha was going to solve a 400 year old cold case. I thought, cool, maybe this will be something like Josephine Tey and Inspector Grant. That old case was just the last few pages of the story. What the story was actually about was nothing even close to that. If I'm going to read a book by MC Beaton, I think I'll stick with Marion Cheney.
Thank you to netgalley for the ARC. Opinions are my own.

This one wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. There were several clever moments while figuring out the mystery. I kept asking myself how Agatha has so many friends. She wasn’t likeable. The second mystery was distracting. I missed the interactions of the village residents. The narrator sounds too old for the character..

Penelope Keith has the perfect voice for the Agatha Raisin character.
Part of a long running series this particular story takes a while to get going. Agatha’s private life takes up a good portion of the story. There is a mixture of murder, burglary and death threats for Agatha to unravel. The pace of the story picks up in the final half and it’s worth keeping with it.
I received a free review copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest unedited feedback.

Another fantastic book in the Agatha Raisin series. It’s amazing that Agatha never seems to age lol. The characters are so comfortable and reliable. It’s not a series you have to read in order though if one does it does help the relationships between characters. Highly recommend all of these books.

This was a cute cozy mystery it had 3 maybe 4 mysteries rolled into one there were so many moving parts and suspicious people. Agatha was enticed to help throw an extravagant gala for a winery. She then hangs out with the antique store owner, and he takes her to a auction that way she could learn about it to throw one for the gala. She finds this beautiful clock and it starts a bidding war. then she is approached to find out who has been burglaring the stores at night. She starts getting sent these riddles, antique store owner ends up dead, and someone tries to kidnap Agatha. So many mysteries will she get the answers to them all

The 35th book in the series - this was still an enjoyable book to read, or in my case, to listen to.

Agatha is busy with her business when an acquaintance is found dead in his store. She starts receiving riddles that could be seen as threats, and is determined to figure out what is going on. In her spare time, she is trying to organize a huge event for Charles at his ancestral home.

I enjoy Agatha's character especially her fiery temper and the way she is intimidated by no one. She has softened a little over the years, and she genuinely cares for the folks around her. Her love life is still convoluted!

I love to listen to the books as I adore the way Penelope Keith reads Agatha. She just captures her temperament so well.

Another great book in this series. I devour every audiobook in this series and this one was no exception. Even though a different writer took over a few books back, they are still great. I love Agatha Raisen and her comical and blunt ways. Great narration.

A Medieval mystery, a modern day murder, and an antiques auction. This book had it all!

I love the Agatha Raisin mysteries, and this book really captured what we all love about the character. Agatha is as sassy, bold, and hilarious as ever. I loved how there were multiple mysteries woven into the story line, and they all came to a satisfying conclusion, though I wish there had been a little more backstory on whodunnit. Overall an enjoyable and entertaining cozy mystery read.

The audiobook narrator always does a great job bringing the characters to life’s and this was no exception. Looking forward to the next in this series.

Thank you to #NetGalley and #BlackstonePublishing for an ALC in exchange for an honest review.

Agatha Raisin and Penelope Keith; a priceless combination. These cozy mysteries are best with Keith's witty narration. She IS Agatha Raisin. Wonderful to curl up with after a long day.

First I’ve read from this author(s). From what I understand, MC Beaton passed a few years ago, and now her co-author RW Green has taken over the writing. And, I believe this is the 35th book in the series! 😮

That being said, I love the MFC Agatha! She is a pip! She’s all in or nothing!
She and her underling (Toni) run a private detective agency, and it seems like every case they get is a doozy! BUT, they are terrific at what they do!

So, when a string of robberies ends up hurting one friend, and then leaving another dead, well…Agatha plans to get to the bottom of this! And so it begins!

There’s love. There’s friendship. There’s a sense of community. And there’s so much more!

Happy that I was able to get an ARC of the audiobook yesterday and review it today!
Thanks so much to #NetGalley and #BlackstonePublishing! This is already on shelves, as it was released in October!

#KillingTime by #MCBeaton and #RWGreen and narrated nicely by #PenelopeKeith.
