Review: Agatha Raisin and the Christmas Crumble
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is not a full length novel it is a novella, so if you only like reading novel length stories then you will need to steer clear of this one.  That said I found it an enjoyable read and it would be ideal for reading after Christmas dinner - I decided not to wait that long before reading it.Agatha is wondering what to do at Christmas and decides while talking to Mrs Bloxby to invite six elderly people for Christmas lunch.  So far so good but regular readers of this series will immediately hear alarm bells ringing when they realise that Agatha is going to make the Christmas Pudding herself.I liked the portraits of the six elderly but quite different guests, they are an interesting collection.  The dinner itself is amusing and the unexpected death - of course there has to be one - is well done.  If you want an amusing story to relax with at any time then try this - it takes about an hour to read.
