Agatha Raisin and the Curious Curate

De: M.C. Beaton

Narrado por: Penelope Keith

No wonder she's been crowned Queen of Cosy Crime' Mail on Sunday

He was a vicar to die for - and he did!

Agatha is going through a man-hating phase and so is unmoved by news of the captivating new curate. But when she meets the golden-haired, blue-eyed Tristan Delon, she is swept off her feet . . . along with every other female in the village. She is positively ecstatic when he invites her to dine with him but the next day Agatha is left with a hangover from hell - and his cold corpse suggests that, once again, she's in the frame for murder!


Praise for the Agatha Raisin series:

'Sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining, delightfully intolerant and oh so magnificently non-PC, M.C. Beaton has created a national treasure' Anne Robinson

'M.C. Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem' Publishers Weekly

'The Miss Marple-like Raisin is a refreshing, sensible, wonderfully eccentric, thoroughly likeable heroine' Booklist

Very Entertaining

The narrator is marvellous and she makes this book a delightful bit of escapsim. Amusing and charming read.

It's a radio show

This is actually a recording of a radio show. Yet he actors are excellent and demonstrate the strength of Beaton's dialogue. However the annoying fiddle music and the announcer's input are distracting. Even though this version is cheap I prefer the traditional audio format

Cozy mystery

I love an escape with Agatha! Great for listening to while doing other tasks since it doesn’t require in depth contemplation. Just light and fun as far as murder mysteries go.

i love Mrs. Raisin.

I love her adventures, both personal and detectively. she is quite a unique person. I want to read all her books.

full cast audio

I absolutely adore the full cast show. It is well done and Miss Keith is perfect for the character. The only reason I gave it a four star is that they changed the voice of the original Roy and P.C. Wong. Otherwise I highly recommend it. Just like the old time radio shows.
