Series: Agatha Raisin #10
“With Fairies shining lights and a Stubbs stolen”, Agatha Raisin and Sir Charles Fraith take on the sleepy village of Fryfam in an attempt to figure out what is behind the goings on in this sleepy village. With country Lord of the Manor Tolly dead, in the very same way a pseudo-character in a thrown together book Agatha is writing, Agatha and Charles must now bumble through the village and interview the locals without drawing any more attention to themselves.
I was sure I had read this book before, but for the life of me, I could not remember it or even the setting when I picked it up. Since it is a short book, why not spend a couple of hours and delve back into Agatha’s world of insults and intrigue. A world where Agatha cannot be left to her own devices, and away from James, without a melancholy that could topple her completely.
Agatha has always been one of my guilty pleasures and once you get past the author’s horrible editing and regular reuse of names, really, how many Jims, James, and Jimmies can a person meet, you settle down and enjoy not only the people of Carsley, but apparently Fryfam and their fairies.
Oh, there is a very nice turn at the end of this book. A turn anyone reading subsequent books knows already, but I was glad to put that missing piece in the right place.
