About this listen
Agatha Raisin returns for her 30th adventure.
When private detective Agatha Raisin comes across a severed leg in a roadside hedge, it looks like she is about to become involved in a particularly gruesome murder. Looks, however, can be deceiving, as Agatha discovers when she is employed to investigate a case of industrial espionage at a factory where nothing is quite what it seems.
The factory mystery soon turns to murder, and a bad-tempered donkey turns Agatha into a national celebrity, before bringing her ridicule and shame. To add to her woes, Agatha finds herself grappling with growing feelings for her friend and occasional lover, Sir Charles Fraith.
Then, as a possible solution to the factory murder unfolds, her own life is thrown into deadly peril. Will Agatha get her man at last? Or will the killer get her first?

Brilliant performance by Penelope Keith!
As usual MC Beaton spins a good yarn, loved the book and the performance by Penelope Keith was her usual excellent standard.

One of M C Beaton's best
I've read all of the Agatha Raisins series but I definitely like this one. Pleased it didn't include Agatha's obsession with her ex husband Lacey...that sometimes doesn't do Agatha justice!

Agatha and Penelope are both delights!
Easy listening, great characters read by a treasured and iconic voice. Caution: May bring on the sudden desire to move to Cotswolds and become really nosey!

Another winner in the series
What’s not to love about Agatha Raisin. If you are already this far into the series then you’ll already be a fan. This book doesn’t disappoint

Loved the humour of Agatha's animal encounter. Fabulous narration by Penelope Keith.
Premise of the murder a bit thin wasn't really bothered, unlike other AR stories where you are drawn in.

On form again
M.C and Penelope Keith are back on form in this adventure. I think it's one of Agatha's best escapades. Her relationship with her sidekick Tony is a little more fraught here but loyalty comes through in the end. P.C. Bill Wong and P.C.Alison Peters seem settled in their relationship and Agatha and Charles appear to recognise their feelings for each other. Will they ever properly get together? Agatha finally makes a conquest.
