 ... This has been her dream, however once it actually comes true, she finds herself bored stupid, and subsequently just to do something, she enters a quiche competition.

I found this story an easy read with some humours parts. I'm surprised they haven't turned it into a television series as it seems just right for tv. I haven't read any other book...more

The Quiche of Death is the first book in the Agatha Raisin series. I read the first part on the Internet and thought it would be a good read and different to what I usually read so I bought it. The plot is basically that Agatha Raisin retires from her highflying PR job in London to a small village in the Cotswolds.

I'm sorry to break the news to you, but Agatha Christie is dead. In fact, despite the numerous TV and film adaptations that adorn our screen every year the woman has been dead for over 30 years and counting. No more new adventures from lovable Miss Marple or eccentric Monsieur Poirot, just the same stories told again with a different set of actors. This is no bad thing in itself as each generation of viewers get to experience the stories designed for the time. The trouble is that I know all the killers, murderers, blackmailers, poisoners, bigamists, gypsies, tramps and thieves - I need something new, modern, but perhaps still laced with some of Christie's sardonic ...  Read the complete review

Interesting story Quite disturbing in places

A great classic book A little dated with some PC matters, but well worth reading .

Lots of short stories to choose from Badly written, weak stories.

Offbeat, makes you consider things you ordinarily wouldn't (inner workings of a shopping centre!) Got a bit confusing at points.

another brilliant Aurelio Zen thriller It's the last.

Thrilling, intelligent Excessive detail
