Agatha Raisin and the Haunted House

Ein eher schlechtes Buch aus dieser Serie. Ich habe bis zum Schluss nicht so ganz verstanden, worum es bei den Morden wirklich ging. Auch Agathas neuer Nachbar war eine eher überflüssige Figur in dieser Geschichte. 
Dieses Buch kann man getrost überspringen, man verpasst nichts Wesentliches.

Agatha has a new neighbor Paul, who has coaxed her into investigating a local haunted house which ends in multiple murders, the hauntings, buried treasure and an ancient diary. Great little cozy mystery.

Yet another delightful Agatha Raisin adventure! I just love the general wackiness of it all:)

A vengeful ghost comes back to haunt the living? Reports of a haunted house soon have Agatha snooping around, but it turns out the victim of the haunting is a universally disliked old biddy on whom someone is playing a practical joke. And then the old lady is murdered - but for Agatha, solving a crime is much more fun than hunting a ghost! Very soon she's up to her usual tricks, involving the villagers, local police, and, of course, her handsome new neighbour . . . Praise for the Agatha Raisin series: 'Fast-paced, witty and well-plotted.' MyShelf.com 'Sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining, delightfully intolerant and oh so magnificently non-PC, M.C. Beaton has created a national treasure' Anne Robinson 'M.C. Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem' Publishers Weekly 'The Miss Marple-like Raisin is a refreshing, sensible, wonderfully eccentric, thoroughly likeable heroine.' Booklist

This one was quite inventive, and I was quite excited to see Agatha solve a mystery that didn't revolve around murder.... but - this isn't really a spoiler, I don't think - (view spoiler)[ inevitably someone ends up dead  (hide spoiler)]. 

I liked the introduction of the new neighbour, and was hoping Agatha would experience him in an entirely unsexual/romantic way, but she can't help herself. And the conclusion between them - well, that is spoilery, but fair to say I liked it.

I think the only thing that prevents me from rating this one higher, is that the plot felt a little convoluted and like it could have been tightened up a tad. 

Regardless - an enjoyable read.

Loved this one. Nice of mix of silliness and growth from Agatha and a decent mystery.
