Agatha Raisin: Devil's Delight: the latest cosy crime novel from the bestselling author

Product Information

Agatha and Toni are private investigator’s on their way to a friend’s wedding, when in front of their car a naked man stumbles out and comes running towards them. Green’s writing style is definitely entertaining with the descriptive narrative, clever quips, snarky responses, and continued conflicts with DI Wilkes you expect to see. When they arrive, the body is gone, left behind is a small wet patch, the only proof a body was ever there. Her books have been translated into seventeen languages and have sold more than twenty-two million copies worldwide. The plot was slow, not reaching anything much until halfway through the book, and it lacked the characters that we have grown to love, such as Roy coming down from London to help Agatha, adding his mix of youth to Agatha's exasperation, and several of the other usual characters too.

There was nothing necessarily unusual about that, except this man, who we later find out is Edward Carstairs, is completely naked! The book also has interesting tidbits about British legends - involving witches, knights, and the Devil - that are associated with ancient stones. And while that's certainly reasonable, after 33 books, I found myself missing the grumpy, hard-charging Agatha Raisin of old. Agatha and Toni are on their way to a wedding when a naked man runs out into the road to tell them he's just found a body. Despite fans of the television show seeing many differences in the book from age to ethnicity to personality and some characters only found in one or the other, it is unique, must read!

With the resources she has at her disposal provided by others, she makes short work of what needs to be done. And the headmistress of Martinbrook Sixth Form College discovers drug dealing at the school, and a youthful private detective poses as a student to track down the culprit. Private detective Agatha Raisin - a fiftyish Englishwoman with small bear-like eyes and shiny brown hair - lives in Carsley, a pretty village in the Cotswolds. Agatha's nemesis, Detective Chief Inspector Wilkes, dismisses the incident as a pratical joke and refuses to make inquiries. After Agatha sees Ursula again, she is suspicious even more as Ursula doesn't seem that she is in the least bit upset that her husband is dead.

Frankly I don’t think this ever works out very well so fans of the original don’t be too disappointed.

Agatha always went to the restroom to fix her lipstick because she didn't want to show up in public without her lipstick on perfectly.

After all, we met Giovanni, the Italian choral director, who slept with Agatha and didn't want anything to do with her the next day. Then before she knows it, she says she will go with him to a barbecue of the Mircester Naturist Society without any clothes!Then soon after, they find a body in the lake that Agatha suspects might be the same body that Edward found on the Lone Warrior; Agatha and Toni are confident one or more of the naturist society killed the man in the lake.
