I might put this off until the way back, though, because the Kindle edition is at premium price and I can wait.

If it had not been for my mother-in-law who gave me the first three books as paperbacks some years ago while I was on one of my annual Yorkshire holidays, I'd probably never heard of Agatha or Marion Chesney (M.C.

Of course there are hints at things that happened in previous books, but as far as I can tell, nothing that would make you unable to keep up with the current story. <br />To me, this one is definitely one of the best five of the series.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-3236082402291619942013-10-16T11:14:51.919+02:002013-10-16T11:14:51.919+02:00Except through you, I've never heard of Agatha...Except through you, I've never heard of Agatha Raisin.
