Hiss And Hers (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

If only the Agatha Raisin books did not run so hot and cold with me.For the most part, I enjoy the series, I like the recurring characters and Agatha’s annoying temperament, but sometimes the storylines just are not as fulfilling as I would like.Once again, there is a new man in the neighborhood, George Marston is the area gardener and fix-it man. Determined to catch his eye Agatha agrees to arrange a charity ball in hopes of dancing with this man. When he does not appear, Agatha is crushed. That is until she discovered his dead body in a compost heap and the cause of death is the bite of an asp.As Agatha begins her investigation, she realizes that she was very wrong about this man and that an asp bite just might be vengeance for the old snake himself.The list is long on who might have wanted this man dead, but with Agatha’s investigations, she has managed to put herself in the path of a psychopath. Now Agatha is determined to keep herself and her investigators safe all the while hiding listening devices and running all over the Cotswold’s in hopes of staying one-step ahead of the real killer.Agatha has a way of making her life more complicated than necessary and that is what I like best about her. She has good intentions, but somehow always seems to mess things up. I do cheer her on and hope that one day she will get it right. Disappointment, disappointment! The last few Agatha Raisin mysteries I have read have been disappointing but I keep trying as I am always hoping things will get better... Well I think it's time I gave up on this series. Actually, I think it's time M.C. Beaton gave up on this series as well! What struck me most here was the poor quality of the writing. In the last few instalments I read the plot wasn't terribly exciting and it lacked the humour of the original books but at least story was well-written. Hiss and Hers feels like it was written by a different author altogether. The style was choppy and very unpleasant. The plot itself wasn't terribly interesting and I had a hard time getting into the story.This is probably the last Agatha Raisin mystery I read, too bad!

What's not to love about Agatha Raisan? A comical light read. I enjoyed this book!

Very silly, very frothy, but entertaining nonsense nonetheless.
