Not bad. Too much filler but I like crabby old Agatha. But not good enough to muster a full review, so I'll just say it didn't thrill me but it didn't kill me either.

A fun lighthearted murder mystery in the Agatha Christie tradition.

Agatha Raisin has taken early retirement when a company offers to buy her public relations business. She goes to find peace in a village in the Cotswolds. She finds breaking into the close-knit community quite hard and attempts to make an impression by winning a quiche making competition. Trouble is, she has no idea how to make a quiche, so she cheats and buys one from a London Deli. When the competition judge dies from poisoning she's the most likely suspect, particularly when her quiche didn't win. She starts looking into it.
