Agatha Raisin in Down the Hatch

Product Information

On a trip from the States to Sutherland on holiday, a course at a fishing school inspired the first Constable Hamish Macbeth story. After marrying Harry Scott Gibbons and having a son, Charles, Marion went to the United States where Harry had been offered the job of editor of the Oyster Bay Guardian. She left Smith’s to join Scottish Field magazine as a secretary in the advertising department, without any shorthand or typing, but quickly got the job of fashion editor instead. Green, her friend and fellow author, has picked up the mantle and attempted to carry on with the series with all the usual characters. Not a classic but probably as good as we're likely to get due to the passing of the author and creator.

Review of the Blackstone Audio Inc audiobook edition (October 2021) released simultaneously with the St.She narrates Agatha beautifully, although she did slip back into her own voice occasionally when narrating long passages of other characters. This book is interesting and a good mystery but agatha raisin just isn't herself and James is way too interested in agatha and lovey dovey. We work closely with publishers and authors to ensure that we offer the best books on the market for your child.

Also, the reader has an elderly voice that really doesn't fit Agatha's age and therefore her thoughts and actions. People who are bigger fans of the TV show than the books will be pleased, but true fans of the series will understand that the real Agatha died along with her creator. Wow, I was so excited to listen to this book, as I have read all of M C Beaton's Agatha Raisin books, and I have watched all of the Agatha Raisin tv shows!
