Dead on Target

The Agatha Raisin Mysteries, Book 34

De: M. C. Beaton, R.W. Green - contributor

Narrado por: Penelope Keith

Beloved New York Times bestseller M. C. Beaton’s cranky, crafty Agatha Raisin—the star of her own hit T.V. series—is back on the case again.

A visit to the local village fete for a spot of fun and relaxation turns into a nightmare for Agatha Raisin when she discovers the body of the local landowner in the woods with an arrow in his chest and trousers round his ankles.

Agatha’s old adversary, Detective Chief Inspector Wilkes, declares the death a tragic accident, believing the victim has been hit by a stray arrow from an archery demonstration. Agatha is convinced of foul play, however, and is shocked when Wilkes eventually agrees … with her as his prime murder suspect.

Determined to clear her name and find the real killer, Agatha launches her own investigation, quickly becoming involved with a family at war, an unscrupulous gangster, and a killer who is determined to make her the next victim …

Thank you, R. W. Green!

Excellent performance from Penelope Keith, as always! Can't she just narrate our everyday lives? And thrilled that R.W. Green was able to, not just accept the weight of the Agatha Raisin legacy, but step up to the challenge of keeping that beautiful universe created by the genius that was M.C. Beaton legitimately thriving. Kudos - and - thank you!

It is nice that Agatha has returned. Hopefully she will return again.

There are no complaints about the story. I wish the author the best in keeping Agatha alive and sleuthing.

Still the best!!!

I just LOVE Aggie!!! I wish I had more new books with Agatha and the gang! This was 3👍👍!!!

Another wonderful book!!

I just love this book!! Agatha raisin is great! I highly recommend this series!! I love having it in my library, I never get tired of listening to Penelope Keith she is the beast at bringing Agatha come to life!!

M.C. Beaton must be so proud!

After enjoying more than a dozen Agatha Raisin mysteries, I think this one is my favourite. The story, as always, is great fun with twists and turns but Agatha gets more character development in this one and it’s about time! The pace is perfect and I could hardly put it down. I look forward to Rod Green continuing this series. Bravo!

Nothing says Agatha Raisin like Penelope Keith

Penelope Keith does a consistently outstanding job reading the Agatha Raisin series. I hope there will be more in the future! Love the series!

Another fun outing with Agatha

I appreciate that Green is keeping Agatha’s stories going. I think that he has slightly shifted Agatha’s personality and softened it a bit, making her a bit more reasonable, so that we can have the scene where Agatha and James talk reasonably to a reasonable conclusion. Hallelujah! However, we still have the Agatha who is always checking her appearance, wondering about her clothes and makeup. Classic Agatha. I’m so glad.

Excellent storyline

I loved hearing Agatha’s voice . If I had to add something, it would be a storyline of Toni and other characters having love interest and time in their own homes with things going on in their lives. Another winner!!!

Agatha with heart and soul

I liked that several others were deeply involved, the impact of investigating had consequences, such as tracking a suspect, alone, and Mrs Bloxby is shrt with an arrow.
Agatha has compassion, able to consider others. love she is falling in love.

always love agatha

love it all. good mystery. good story. good characters. love MC Beaton. keep them coming! big fan.
