Dishing the Dirt, by M.C. Beaton, Book Review
Sometimes when an author writes a long series of books with the same protagonist, the energy gradually fizzles out. Not in this case, not even after 25 books! M.C. Beaton is as wickedly funny as ever. Anyone who has ever lived in an English village will recognise the ensemble of characters, the eligible bachelor who is mean to a fault, the nosey, bitchy older woman who loves to hurt people, the kindly put upon vicar’s wife, the siren who leaves men reeling in her wake… This satire on English village life demonstrates why Agatha Raisin is such a popular character.
