Synopsis

M. C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin is as feisty as ever and armed with her famous wit and biting sense of humor. This time, though, there's some biting of a whole other sort going on. Agatha has fallen head over heels in love. Again. This time, she has her eye on the local gardener, George Marston, but so do other women in their little Cotswold village. Shamelessly determined, Agatha will do anything to get her man, including footing the bill for a charity ball just for the chance to dance with him. And then George doesn't even show up! Only partly deterred, Agatha goes looking for him, and finds his dead body in a compost heap. Murder is definitely afoot, but this killer chose no ordinary weapon; a poisonous snake delivered the fatal strike. Rising to the occasion, Agatha rallies her little detective agency to find the killer, only to learn that George had quite a complicated love life. But murderously complicated? Well, if she can't have George, at least Agatha can have the satisfaction of confronting the other women and solving the crime.

I enjoyed this immensely as Agatha makes me laugh. You never know what crazy thing she is going to do next! I was so curious that I had to turn over to the back and read the last chapters to see who the murderer was and then back to the front. This one has adders in it so if you have a phobia about......more

Goodreads review by Gerry on September 21, 2024

I've always been an Agatha Raisin fan but my liking for her has reached new heights and that after just two paragraphs of 'Hiss and Hers'. She is a lady who is prone to falling in love quite often (an understatement) but she undoubtedly demonstrates the meaning of true love when she falls head over h......more

I took a break from listening to the Agatha Raisin series, but I’m back again. I’m already up to #23 and it was a good one. I can’t help but laugh at Agatha’s antics. She’s a 50-something year old woman who acts like a teenager when it comes to men. Poor Agatha, she never seems to get her man. This t......more
