Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Penelope Keith shines in this audiobook, her performance a masterclass in understated delivery that adds layers to Agatha Raisin's character. The narrative zips along at a brisk pace, keeping listeners on their toes from the moment Mary Fortune waltzes into town. While the mystery is satisfyingly intricate, there are moments where the pacing slows down too much during garden descriptions, which can feel like filler. However, these brief interludes only add to the book's charm, offering a delightful break from the tension. Overall, this audiobook is a must-listen for fans of crime fiction and those who appreciate well-rounded characters in cozy mysteries.
