and easier to read. This book I knocked off within a matter of a couple of days. On this occasion (and I have to say I seem to have skipped several volumes in the series) Agatha is running a detective agency and is called in to assist at an event in a neighbouring village where a notorious singer is going to open the proceedings and during the ensuing few minutes some LSD is slipped into the jam being used for a tasting competition - two old ladies die. Gradually the usual array of convoluted themes and red herrings emerge until the case is solved. Agatha is a very flawed heroine - middle aged, slightly overweight, very irritable and desperate for romance - what a good thing she has the help and support of Vicar's wife, and Bill Wong - a member of the local constabulary. This isn't great literature, but it is quite fun - and very light! Rating: 7/10
