À propos de cet audio
Beloved New York Times bestseller M. C. Beaton’s cranky, crafty Agatha Raisin―the star of her own hit TV series―is back on the case again in Devil’s Delight.
Toni and Agatha are in the car on the way to Officer Bill Wong’s long-awaited wedding when, much to their shock, a naked young man bursts through a hedge on the side of the road and comes running toward them.
Terrified, he explains that he has just seen a dead body in the woods. Toni lends him an old t-shirt to cover himself, Agatha calls the police, and the young man takes them to the spot where he saw the body, across from a meadow where the Mircester Naturist Club is due to have its annual summer barbecue.
The young man, Edward, explains that he is the club’s social convener and had arrived early to set things up. He says he found the body at the edge of the woods, near an ancient stone known as The Lone Warrior and said to have once been used as a sacrificial altar.
When they reach the spot, however, there is nothing on the large, flat rock except a small wet patch. Even that has dried up by the time the police arrive, and Chief Inspector Wilkes accuses Agatha of wasting police time on a prank.
But Agatha and Toni grow suspicious after meeting some of the club’s members, whose diverse interests range from artisanal ice cream to ancient curses. And when another disappearance occurs, it’s up to them to put together the pieces … or end up on the altar themselves.

Brilliant!!!
Absolutely loved it! It was well worth the wait. Hearty congratulations to RW Green for this action packed and steamy nail biter. You did us proud...MC would be proud too. Can hardly wait for the next title. And Penelope Keith portrays Agatha as no other reader can. An amazingly talented and versatile actor who brings ALL the characters to life without skipping a beat. More!!! 🙂

Not quite up to par ...
I really wanted to enjoy this book but unfortunately I was disappointed. RW Green has done a very great job bringing MC Beaton's other beloved characters to life in the Hamish Macbeth stories but something is missing with not just Agatha Raisin but her supporting cast as well. Just not enough there.
I can't explain it. Even Penelope Keith's familiar rendition can't seem to breathe life into the characters or the "mysteries". I think I will just have to fondly remember them as they were and replay my old favourites.
Folks who enjoyed this book and who are just discovering Agatha Raisin are encouraged to "begin at the beginning " as she might say. You will love Agatha and her "capacious" cast of characters in the Cotswolds as written by MC Beaton herself.
Sorry.
