Agatha Raisin: Devil's Delight: the latest cosy crime novel from the bestselling author

Product Information

I enjoyed the book, written by R.W. Green, who continued the series after the death of his friend M.C. Beaton. In my opnion Green does a good job capturing Beaton's voice as well as the essence of the characters.

What is there to say? - what a disappointment. I struggled my way through what was one of my favourite authors, despairing how many times the old cases of Agatha Raisin were brought up. The writing style of Marion has gone altogether and the fast paced action was replaced by pedantic descriptions.The young man, Edward, explains that he is the club’s social convenor and had arrived early to set things up. He says he found the body at the edge of the woods, near an ancient stone known as The Lone Warrior and said to have once been used as a sacrificial altar. In this 33rd book in the 'Agatha Raisin' series, the private detective investigates cases involving murder, theft, and drug dealing. The book can be read as a standalone.

Private detective Agatha Raisin - a fiftyish Englishwoman with small bear-like eyes and shiny brown hair - lives in Carsley, a pretty village in the Cotswolds. To prepare for the wedding of her friends, Detective Sergeant Bill Wong and Detective Constable Alice Peters, Agatha slims down to bikini size.....and even looks good nude. This is fortuitous because Agatha gets involved with a homicide in a nudist colony. Get him something to cover himself up with, Toni,” said Agatha. “We need to find out what this is all about.”It’s off West Carsely Lane,” came Edward’s voice as he appeared from the “Wizards” door with his phone clamped to his ear and a pair of shorts now covering his magic wand. “Yes, a dead body. I know what I saw! Please hurry!” This is the first book in this series I have ever read. It’s a cozy type mystery, with a lot of nudity, and some very unlikeable characters. I’m not even sure I liked Agatha Raisins character, I’m still marinating my thoughts on her. She seemed a bit shallow, as far as her body image and men choices. There didn’t seem to be a lot of character development, and while the story unfolded with all questions answered, I found it boring at times. Agatha is quite a character and I definitely want to read more about her. Her personality is distinctively different from post of the private investigators I've read about. So much fun!
