Agatha Raisin and the Haunted House

An Agatha Raisin Mystery, Book 14

By: M. C. Beaton

Narrated by: Penelope Keith

Reports of a haunted house soon have amateur sleuth Agatha Raisin snooping around, only to discover the victim of the haunting is a universally disliked old biddy on whom someone is playing a practical joke. But then the old lady is murdered and, for Agatha, solving a crime is much more fun than ghost-busting. Very soon she’s up to her usual tricks, involving the villagers, local police, and, naturally, her handsome new neighbor.

Agatha Bullies Her Way Through Another Mystery

I have to mention that I adore Agatha Raisin, so perhaps I am less critical than I should be. But there is something about this irascible, middle-aged, vain and silly character that won my heart from the beginning. I guess it's Agatha's extremely flawed character that makes her so lovable. That, and the fact that she really does mean well. Mostly.

Anyway, the "Haunted House" is a fun and typical Agatha mystery, and I loved it. The narration is excellent.

Agatha Raisin…

Another wonderful story of Agatha’s adventures! It makes me want to visit that area of the English countryside.

Good fun

It was quite good fun, but just a bit too long getting to the point.

Always a fun listen

I always enjoy listening to the Agatha Raisin stories, and this book is no exception.

FEISTY FUN

I have listened to most of M.C.Beaton"s Agatha Raisin mysteries. it's sometimes painful to watch Agatha behave foolishly when insecure. However she always rises up near the end. not a spoiler, I promise.
