    Synopsis

    In order to recuperate from her last escapade and re-grow some hair, Agatha Raisin goes on holiday to the seaside town of Wyckhadden. However, the holiday is not what Agatha hoped for. The weather is crummy, all five of her fellow hotel guests are elderly, and time hangs heavy. A chance discussion with a fellow guest leads her to the door of Francie Juddle, a local woman who claims to have the power of witchcraft. Agatha is not impressed with Francie, but does buy a hair potion and a love potion.

    That same night, Agatha sets out to visit Francie and accuse her of fraud. Agatha walks into the cottage unannounced and discovers a very dead witch. The police, in the form of handsome officer Jimmy Jessop, bring her in for questioning and request that she stay in town.

    Agatha does so because it is apparent to her that one of the hotel guests must be the killer. Her use of the love potion on Jimmy Jessop yields surprising results. When another murder occurs and Agatha finds herself the center not of danger but of amour, she realizes that there may just be a future for her in Wyckhadden.

    Romantic Times - Toby Bromberg

    Agatha Raisin and The Witch of Wyckhadden is a treasure of a book! The story sparkles with mystery, humor, sex (well, sex of a sort) and several romances. The always wonderful M.C. Beaton has outdone herself with this cozy-lover’s delight.

    March 09, 2009: This book would be wonderful to read even if you didn't already know Agatha Raisin. I do always wish with books that take the same characters from story to story, over the years, that they would number them. Personally, I don't like skipping around in peoples lives. That said:

    Agatha Raisin is true to her character. You want to jump into her life and shake her. She can be counted on to always make bad decisions. You are emotionally in her adventures with her right to the end. And right to the end you hope that somehow she has learned her lesson---but alas.

    Please DO start with "Introducing Agatha Raisin" and Quiche of the Day, which will help you better understand how she ended up where she is in her life. After reading those, I really didn't like Agatha as a person--but there is something about her that makes you want to cheer her on. She gets better with each book and I am trying to collect the whole series now. I am hooked on Agatha Raisin.
