Quotes
“At the core of every village cozy is a pinch of arsenic. In the Agatha
Raisin Cotswold cozies, the arsenic is Agatha herself, a pushy, whiny,
unsociable, self-pitying sort who investigates murders in the tiny
village of Carsely the way other women might shop, as a distraction from
boredom…Beaton revives a fairly routine plot with a whiff of Dorian Gray here.” Booklist

will want to make the acquaintance of Mrs. Agatha Raisin.” Atlanta Journal-Constitution, praise for the series
“The Miss Marple-like Raisin is refreshingly sensible and wonderfully eccentric.” Buffalo News, praise for the series
