Agatha Raisin and the Wizard of Evesham - MC Beaton

I probably read this book too quickly after my first taste of M C Beaton and Mrs Raisin.
This volume centres on Agatha encountering crimes and misdeeds at a hairdressers' in Evesham. She really is an egotistical heroine and amateur detective - always imagining that every man with a pulse is either in love with her or suitable for ensnaring into her clutches. In fact she comes close to becoming insufferable. However, this is a light tale and an easy read, lots of red herrings, a believable story line (apart from the incredible number and variety of real or imagined romances Agatha encounters) and so deserves a rating of 6/10
