Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death…M.C. Beaton



You may ask why this book on this Sunday, well, the NASCAR race is in Las Vegas, city of games of chance and when I read this book I took a chance that I’d eventually like this horrible character. We first met Agatha Raisin as she retires from her profitable position as a PR agent in London, she moves to the Cotswolds expecting a peaceful country life. She enters a local baking contest with a store bought quiche; she not win, but her quiche kills one of the judges. Desperate to prove her innocence, Agatha begins investigating the crime herself. I found her obnoxious and mean but I grew to love her. She can’t be all bad she likes cats!
