Agatha Raisin

The Complete BBC Radio Drama Collection

By: M. C. Beaton

Narrated by: Penelope Keith, full cast

After a lifetime spent in public relations, one-woman dynamo Agatha Raisin struggles to adapt to life in a quiet country village – but she soon finds that there is murder and mayhem aplenty to keep her busy.

Among the cases she has to deal with are a poisoned quiche; a vet who has been ‘put to sleep’; a hanged horticulturist; a murdered rambler and a curate who meets his Maker somewhat sooner than expected. Then there’s the treasure hunt with a rather nasty prize at the end; the secretive salon owner; the husband who is quite definitely ex; the murder on the dancefloor and the fairies at the bottom of the garden.

With all this and handsome neighbour James Lacey to deal with, the ‘Columbo of the Cotswolds’ has her hands full!

This Complete Radio Drama Collection includes the following stories: The Quiche of Death, The Vicious Vet, The Potted Gardener, The Walkers of Dembley, The Curious Curate, The Buried Treasure, The Wizard of Evesham, The Murderous Marriage, The Terrible Tourist and The Fairies of Fryfam.

Critic reviews

"Agatha Raisin - sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining, delightfully intolerant and oh so magnificently non-PC." (Anne Robinson)

"If there is one thing better than watching Penelope Keith, it is listening to her." (The Times)

Perfect Cast

I really wish Agatha and James were more likable characters because the performances are perfect! One of the easiest books to listen to and follow along with.

Brilliant! Lots of fun!

Beautifully performed. Dame Penelope Keith played a perfect Agatha Raisin. All of the voice actors delivered superb performances. I listened to these while going for evening walks and could not have asked for a better walking companion. Highly recommend!

Loved it

They chose the perfect actors for the characters in these Agatha Raisin stories. And the dramatization of these stories taken from the books are superb. Loved every second!

Agatha Raisin

Penelope Keith as Agatha Raisin is perfection! Mixing humor with mystery at its best. A great listen.
