The Quiche of Death by M.C. Beaton Book Review.
Dear Agatha,
We’ve had our ups and downs. Your book was suggested to me many times, but each time I picked it up I set it back down. The synopsis just sounded a bit silly. Finally I decided to give it a chance. It was slow going at first and, I’m not going to lie, I found you very unlikable. I also have very little patience for someone who doesn’t fully appreciate their cottage in The Cotswolds! I was about to give up on you, but then I remembered that many suggested to try your story on audiobook. Agatha, you did it, you slowly won me over and made me a fan. I may even continue on with your books.
All the best,
Kayla
P.S. Is it bad that I’ve had a craving for quiche after reading a book about a poisonous quiche?! I made this hash brown crust quiche shortly after finishing the book and it was delicious!

Summary from the publisher:
Putting all her eggs in one basket, Agatha Raisin gives up her successful PR firm, sells her London flat, and samples a taste of early retirement in the quiet village of Carsely. Bored, lonely and used to getting her way, she enters a local baking contest: Surely a blue ribbon for the best quiche will make her the toast of the town. But her recipe for social advancement sours when Judge Cummings-Browne not only snubs her entry―but falls over dead! After her quiche’s secret ingredient turns out to be poison, she must reveal the unsavory truth…
Agatha has never baked a thing in her life! In fact, she bought her entry ready-made from an upper crust London quicherie. Grating on the nerves of several Carsely residents, she is soon receiving sinister notes. Has her cheating and meddling landed her in hot water, or are the threats related to the suspicious death? It may mean the difference between egg on her face and a coroner’s tag on her toe…
