Summary

Agatha goes digging where she shouldn't...

Agatha is taken aback when she finds a new woman ensconced in the affections of her attractive bachelor neighbour, James Lacey. The beautiful Mary Fortune is superior in every way, especially when it comes to gardening - and with Carsely Garden Open Day looming, Agatha feels this deficiency acutely.

So when Mary is discovered murdered, buried upside down in a pot, Agatha seizes the moment and immediately starts yanking up village secrets by their roots and digging the dirt on the hapless victim. But Agatha has an awkward secret too . . .

Cheesy, but in a good way!

Only discovered Agatha last week whilst browsing in the "Deals", wanting something to fill in before my next credit applied. I've now listened to the first three books in the series and am addicted! So very easy to listen too. Witty and well read. The stories are so cheesy they are delightful!

Love the series

Wonderful as always, a far cry from every day life and just delightful escapism in the not sure tranquil Cotswold countryside. Excellent transition in-between other terrific but challenging books. I'm gradually making my way through the series as I'm late to this very British party!

Very entertaining

Really enjoyed this book! Kept guessing almost to the end! Love the relationship between James and Agatha. Some really funny moments when I laughed out loud. Easy listening suitable for middle age onwards!

Agatha being Agatha

Great little tale of village life & its somewhat dark side. It's obvious who the 1 perp is but the mystery is the twist.

Good story, audio kept skipping

Enjoyable story as always with MC Beaton

Not sure if it was my app or what, but the audio kept skipping so missed sections of the story. May try returning and re-downloading to see if that helps

good as always

I love this series. although they all fit within the genre of "cosy crime" I found the ending of this one rather sad. Penelope Keith great at narrating as usual.
