I enjoyed this book so much...thank you again for sending it to me! <br /><br />DS - Cozy mysteries and blustery winter days seem to go hand in hand (along with a cup of tea, of course).

It seems like some series are good for a few, then head down hill. I'll look forward to more fun with Agatha!<br /><br />Molly - This is the first in the Agatha Raisin series. I think it sets things up pretty well and provides some insight into her character. Not sure if it will be rehashed in the following books or not.<br /><br />Jackie - I have decided that Agatha Raisin books will be my 'cozy mystery of choice' for a while. Will you be reading them in order or choosing randomly from your stack?<br /><br />Darlene - I hope you will pick up an Agatha Raisin book if the 'cozy mystery mood' strikes!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-30572591847770459962009-12-11T22:28:29.068-05:002009-12-11T22:28:29.068-05:00Nothing like a cozy mystery in cold weather!

Back in an earlier day, when I had a work assignment in London, a colleague/friend of mine and I actually rode bicycles through the Cotswolds once weekend. It was idyllic. We stayed in these people's house that came with a cuddly cat. And we ate at some village restaurant there that was the best meal we had over there.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.com
