Fiction. Mystery. Humor (Fiction.) HTML: Christmas Crumble continues the tradition in M. C. Beaton's beloved Agatha Raisin cozy mystery series�??now a hit show on Acorn TV and public television. At home alone for the holidays, Agatha Raisin decides to host a dinner party for the elder residents in her Cotswold village of Winter Parva. Agatha's never been much of a homemaker, but she's dead-set on making this the perfect holiday for the "crumblies," as she affectionately calls them. She's decorated a tree while fending off her cats Hodge and Boswell, and even made a (lumpy) Christmas pudding in between swigs of rum. But when Agatha dumps the pudding on the head of the local self-proclaimed lothario�??an eighty-five year old with a beer belly and fingers like sausages�??his death by dessert proves more than a trifle as mysteries mount higher than the season's snowfall. So much for trying to do good by her neighbors. Now Agatha needs no less than a Christmas miracle to get herself out of this one... Deck the halls with boughs of folly this Christmas with Agatha Raisin, *a modern-day Miss Marple, who Publishers Weekly* calls "an absolute gem!"… (más)**

Agatha Raisin Short Story (

)

LisaBergin | Apr 12, 2023 |

Quite an enjoyable little read but needed a bit more meat on the bones, I think. Would have been all the better for being a longer story.
Some people don't like reading the Agatha Raisin series of books because they don't like Agatha Raisin! She isn't written as a likeable character, so I don't think she's meant to be liked per se.
I personally don't let that stop me enjoying reading about her little forays, she's a character it's easy to like to dislike! (

The Agatha Raisin formula doesn't really work in short story form, but it is a quick, mildly entertaining read to fill a free hour. (

Agatha Raisin, private detective, and her friend Mrs. Bloxby, the vicar's wife, sat in the shabby vicarage drawing room in the Cotswold village of Carsley one Saturday in late November, drinking coffee and looking out at a vista of sleety rain driving across the tombstones of the churchyard at the end of the garden.
