Good but a bit contrived

Revisado: 04-30-20

Great characters, well-written, but the author withheld information needed to accurately guess who did it until almost the end. An entertaining morality tale on the theme of “Thou shalt not Commit Adultery” and how little things like getting the wrong info on a
bus schedule can have unforeseen deadly consequences.

Delightful

A good collection of Miss Marple (my favorite Christie sleuth) stories each well-performed, adaptions to radio dramatization spot-on and true to Christie.

One of my favorites

Revisado: 03-16-19

Classic Christie, wonderful slight-of-hand plotting, now you think know, now you don't. Interesting characters abound.

This is one of my favorite Maigret stories.

Revisado: 03-11-19

This is a bit different than the usual Maigret, and one of the very best.

Brilliant

Revisado: 08-17-18

Dickens was such a great writer, and Simon Vance's performance is spot on. The way Dickens describes and illustrates the corruption of power both in the aristocracy and the revolutionaries is worth the price of admission.

Great entertainment

Revisado: 06-07-18

This radio adaption is brilliant. The performances are spot on, especially Ian Carmichael's. Only complaint is with the intro music at the beginning of each chapter - that I found annoying. but it doesn't last long.

A wonderful Wodehouse story.

Revisado: 03-22-16

This is a laugh-out-loud lWoodhouse story. Great performance, some new characters, particularly liked Cake bread and the huntress.

Superb - Classic Wodehouse

Revisado: 09-22-15

Simon Vance is a great narrator for Wodehouse's work. The stories are brillantly funny, and the last story is one of the best. Thanks to whatever God there may be for Woodhouse.

The Best One So Far

Revisado: 03-25-14

Would you listen to Agatha Raisin and the Witches of Wyckhadden again? Why?

Yes. I've been reading this series in order, and have enjoyed each of the previous eight books, but this is the best so far. It combines hilarious physical comedy (not easy to do when working with a two-dimensional page), pathos, mystery, and moments of genuine suspense.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Agatha Raisin and the Witches of Wyckhadden?

When Agatha loses her wig, finds the first body.

Have you listened to any of Penelope Keith’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Penelope Keith is brilliant, she can do both male and female voices beautifully, has impeccable timing, and pronunciation.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

Agatha Raisin is a complicated 'real' character. The author has created a woman with tragic faults and doesn't 'fix' them. Though Agatha has grown to be a better person, that growth is slow, realistic, believable. Agatha always makes the same stupid mistakes with men, because she follows the 'fault line' of the personality Beaton has created for her. These books are fun.
