I've seen the Agatha Raisin series on Acorn and love the characters. I wanted to read this book to see how closely the creator of the show followed the source material. It is a lot of fun. Probably if I had read the book first, or in a vacuum, it would have been different.
Agatha is a smart woman who is self-conscious and bossy and clueless and just "out there". She puts herself in danger and just assumes nothing bad will happen to her. Bill Wong is a great character, and I need to read more to see how her relationship with the other villages grows into what exists in the television series.

Agatha Raisin, recently retired PR business owner, has purchased her dream house in the Cotswalds. Always a Londoner, she craves the peace, quite and small village of her dreams. What she finds is not actually what she envisioned. She's an "incomer" not born to the area. She enters a quiche backing contest and later the judge is found dead, poisoned, by leftovers of her quiche. Cute, quirky read.
