About this audiobook

After a lifetime spent in public relations, the drinking and smoking one-woman dynamo that is Agatha Raisin struggles to adapt to life in a quiet Cotswold village. Penelope Keith stars again as Agatha Raisin – Miss Marple with attitude – in these two full-cast dramas based on the bestselling books by M.C. Beaton. In The Terrible Tourist, now that their marriage plans have collapsed, Agatha is furious to find that James is taking a holiday on the island where they were to have their honeymoon. But when she sets out in pursuit of him, she stumbles upon another murder. In The Fairies of Fryfam, having been hurt by James once too often, Agatha takes a trip to the Cornish village of Fryfam and is soon disturbed by some strange lights at the bottom of the garden. ‘If there is one thing better than watching Penelope Keith, it is listening to her’ – Times.

Ratings and reviews

Best theater play I have listened to. In these style presentations it is common for some of the actors to be far from the microphone and thus difficult to hear. Not so in this book. Great acting and excellent story.
