Title: Agatha Raisin is back on form
Review: This outing finds Agatha once again battling depression. She doesn't like getting old. She sometimes finds her retirement boring. And, she just never seems to find the right man to spend her time with.The pretty boy new curate is murdered very early in the book, and Agatha spends the remaining chapters trying to clear the name of her good friend Mrs. Bloxby's husband. Everyone in Carsely thinks the Vicar done it, because the curate was more popular.Once again, Agatha is sleuthing with her neighbor, the mystery writer, and once again the two of them are constantly sending each other missed signals.Agatha may never find romantic happiness, but she's a good friend, and a terrific fundraiser. If she ever learns to recognize contentedness, it may be the end of her detecting. Lucky for us, she remains obtuse.
