To be sure, this series is not what one would call great literature but, really, who cares? This series is vastly entertaining. Menopausal, man-hungry, smart, and funny, Agatha Raisin is simply a great character.Here, Agatha, who is sensitive about her lower class origins, is horrified to discover that Jill Davent, the ther.

Not one to keep her feelings to herself, Agatha tells anyone that would listen that Jill is a charlatan and better off dead. Agatha could only sigh with relief when the therapist took an office in Mircester.When Agatha learns that Jill had hired a private detective to investigate her background, she barges into Jill's office and gives her a piece of her mind, yelling "I could kill you!" So when Jill is found strangled to death in her office two days later, Agatha becomes the prime suspect. Not only was this therapist romancing Agatha's ex-husband but she dug up details of Agatha's not-too-glamorous origins
