Synopsis

When a fortune teller from a previous case informs Agatha Raisin that her destiny—and true love—lies in Norfolk, she promptly rents a cottage in the quaint village of Fryfam. No sooner does she arrive than strange things start happening. Random objects go missing from people's homes and odd little lights are seen dancing in the villagers' gardens and yards. Stories soon begin circulating about the presence of fairies. But when a prominent village resident is found murdered, and some suspicion falls on her and her friend Sir Charles Fraith, Agatha decides she's had enough of this fairy nonsense and steps up her sleuthing for a human killer. The prickly yet endearing Agatha will have fans dangling in suspense: Will she catch her crook—and a husband?

Goodreads review by Anne on March 31, 2025

Ok, Beaton. I see what you're doing now. I have to say that I thought the author was trying to put James forward as some kind of romantic hero this entire time, and it was kind of pissing me off. But. At the end of this, I get what she's trying to say. He's an asshole. He's narcissistic, cold, and only......more

Agatha möchte endlich über James hinwegkommen und zieht daher vorübergehend nach Norfolk, nachdem ihr eine Wahrsagerin prophezeit hat, dass sich ihr Schicksal in Norfolk erfüllen soll. Hier, im Osten Englands, sind die Leute ziemlich seltsam. Sie scheinen sogar noch an Elfen zu glauben! Agatha erklä......more

I found myself thoroughly enjoying and devouring this 10th installment of the Agatha Raisin series.

Viegla lasāmviela atslodzei. Kad negribas iespringt cozy detective ir mana labāka izvēle. Patīk arī Agata (bijusī Londonas PR speciāliste, kura pārcēlusies uz nelielu ciematiņu Anglijā). Klasiskais "who done it" detektīvs ar kolorītiem tēliem.......more

Quotes

“Agatha Raisin and the Fairies of Fryfam is a witty tale that will keep you laughing and guessing at the same time.” RT Book Reviews (4½ stars)

“That the social comedy largely overshadows the mystery and its solution won’t bother Beaton fans, who will be far more concerned whether Agatha falls for Charles herself or wins back the feckless James in this highly amusing cozy.” Publishers Weekly

“More great fun from an endearing heroine.” Library Journal

“Bereft, as she thinks, of James Lacey, the love of her life, drolly blunt Agatha Raisin begins her tenth acid cozy by following a fortuneteller’s advice: she ups and moves to Lavender Cottage in the Norfolk village of Fryfam…There’s quite a show of dancing lights at the bottom of Agatha’s back garden; one of her new neighbors turns up dead; and indomitable James will return as well.” Kirkus Reviews
