About this listen
Allotment wars!
Lord Bellington, Carsely's biggest landholder, has enraged locals by saying he is going to sell off their allotments to make way for a new housing development. So when he turns up dead, poisoned by antifreeze, nobody mourns his passing.
On another fine summer's day Agatha visits Carsley's allotments where everything looks peaceful and perfect: people of all ages digging in the soil and working hard to grow their own fruit and veg. Agatha feels almost tempted to take on a strip herself . . . but common sense soon prevails. She doesn't really like getting her hands dirty.
She is introduced to three oldtimers who have just taken over a new strip; Harry Perry, Bunty Daventry and Josephine Merriweather are lamenting the neglected condition of the patch. But as Harry starts to shovel through the weeds and grass his spade comes across something hard so he bends down and tries to move the object. And then he starts to yell . . .
The body is that of Peta Currie, a newcomer to the village - but who would want to murder her? Blonde and beautiful she's every local male's favourite. And then Lord Bellingham's son engages Agatha to do some digging of her own and very soon Agatha is thrown into a world of petty feuds, jealousies and disputes over land. It would seem that far from being tiny gardens of Eden, Carsley's allotments are local battlefields where passions - and the bodycount - run high!

Another marvellous read.
I'm running out of things to say about these wonderful books. Yet again, the genius pairing of M C Beaton and Penelope Keith brings Agatha Raisin to life.

A. Light hearted tale typical of Agatha Raisin
Highly recommend. Penelope K really engages you making what could be a very dull story really interesting.

Too many dead bodies
Too convoluted, too many deaths, and what has seemingly become an obsession by the author with decapitation. Not the best story.

Agatha’s trial and tribulations continue
I love these books! Perfect as walking companions, and always beautifully read by Penelope Keith. The characters are fun and there’s a pathos about Agatha that speaks to the sting of loneliness and ageing. Can’t wait to listen to the next.

Not much to write about
There wasn't any real story. It seemed almost pointless. There seemed to be a lot of running after ideas rather than real detective work.

Agatha grows and grows on me!
Love all of M C Beaton books and when she writes under her other name of Chesney. So funny and Agatha is human with all the flaws a human should have. Brilliant!
