Publisher's Summary:

Abandoned by new husband James, Agatha Raisin hops on a plane to the South Pacific in the hope that an idyllic holiday will bring some consolation. There, she befriends a honeymooning couple, but tragically, the young bride is accidentally drowned. Returning home to the Cotswolds, Agatha finds herself involved in a strangely similar situation: a woman, dressed in a wedding gown, is found floating in the river. The police say suicide, but Agatha, spurred on by bitter reflections on the married state, sets out to prove them wrong.

Members Reviews:

nothing exciting, good reliable listening

Where does Agatha Raisin and the Day the Floods Came rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

About half way down

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

the complexity of the story makes it interesting, however it also appears rather convoluted which can be a bit irritating (it feels that there are too many red herrings)

Which character as performed by Penelope Keith was your favourite?

the main character is by far the strongest (several of the voices are a bit strange)

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Nope.

Any additional comments?

good solid listening - don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed.

wish there was more

Overall a lovely listen.

I like my listening easy some days and the Agatha Raisin series gives you that. This is another good quick listen that will get you happily from A to B.

Vanishing children

Is there anything you would change about this book?

As a reader progresses through the Agatha Raisin titles available on Audible... they settle into M.C. Beatons formula for the novels contruction. Change would not gel with expectation.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Agathas relationship with Sir Charles is allways intriguing.

What about Penelope Keiths performance did you like?

Penelope Kieth allways gives the narration her best shot.

Do you think Agatha Raisin and the Day the Floods Came needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Nothing wrong.

Any additional comments?

In another Agatha Raisin novel she asks Sir Charles about his twins....theyre in France and very french he responds. M.C. Beaton needs to keep a closer record of her characters storylines.

Perfect!

Easy-going, interesting, perfectly enjoyable Agatha Raisin - couldn't be better other than perhaps being a little longer for more enjoyment.
