Down the Hatch (Agatha Raisin #32)

This is the 32nd book in the Agatha Raisin series. She is an organized fashionista and businesswoman with several men that would love to be in her life. In this story, Agatha is hired to solve three incidents. The first is the death of Admiral Nelson who was found dead with a bottle of rum laced with weedkiller. The second is an employee that has been on sick leave but may be dancing as Cindy Snakehips at exotic clubs. The third is the appearance of strange creatures.

The story is fast paced and is written in the third person point of view. There are many characters, some are developed more than others. Also, since this is the 32nd in the series, the characters have been developing thorough the series. I was sad to learn of the M.C. (Marion Chesney) Beaton’s passing in 2019. If you like Miss Marple or Ellie Haskell stories, you will enjoy reading this one.
