Agatha Raisin and the Wellspring of Death

Agatha Raisin Mysteries, Book 7

By: M. C. Beaton

Narrated by: Penelope Keith

Agatha Raisin's neighboring village of Ancombe is usually the epitome of quiet rural charm, but the arrival of a new mineral-water company - which intends to tap into the village spring - sends tempers flaring and divides the parish council into two stubborn camps. When Agatha, who happens to be the PR person for the water company, finds the council chairman murdered at the spring, tongues start wagging. Could one of the council members have silenced the chairman before he could cast the deciding vote? It is up to Agatha, still nursing a bruised heart from her broken engagement, to investigate the councilors, solve the crime - and promote the water company in the face of all this scandal.

I love M.C. Beaton!

Beaton nails it again. Her characters with all of their human frailties, her twists and turns of plot makes me want to keep listening to more of her books on Audible.

There are times when our Agatha becomes a bit PATHETIC. However the "who done it" aspect remains intriguing.

This is a fun novel.

Agatha and Roy are hilarious in this one. M.C. Beaton is so clever and witty. Penelope Keith is the most entertaining narrator ever.

Fun, as usual

This book was fun to read. I enjoyed Mrs. Bloxley's enhanced participation. Overall the mystery was well written.

Review

Agatha Raisin does it again! A funny adventure with laugh out loud moments. Keith rocks as narrator!
