Kissing Christmas Goodbye (Agatha Raisin)

Product Information

MC Beaton is such a prolific writer, and evidently people love this series as well, so I am very glad for her success and perseverance. I would love to read about Agatha's character development. She can still have insecurities, character 'flaws' and also be compassionate and vulnerable. (ie someone you care about, root for and relate to) Agatha is shallow and hateful. When she does good, she seems to regret it and everything that happens is a downer. I truly do not want to hear her inner dialogue. The crusty old lady has decided to make things right with the man upstairs by willing the estate to charity, starting a school in her name. The problem is, her adult kids Jeffrey (Kevin Bishop) and his wife Alison (Emerald O’Hanrahan), Sadie (Zoe Telford) and Fran (Emma Cunniffe), are expecting to inherit it and splitting the proceeds of a sale. Phyllis definitely thinks her kids will kill her over it and want Agatha to come to her “holiday surprise” announcement as protection.

The actual mystery was boring and confusing. The other characters are so flat but could be interesting if Agatha wasn't so closed off. Comedians Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont host a Christmas getaway for some of their closest friends. Billionaire Blooms (29 December) The holiday special is a British TV tradition, and it’s a pretty good one, if you ask us. Instead of forcing a hit show into a semi-yearly Christmas episode, they all get together and do a feature-length special that has that warm holiday feeling but also a real story — or at least one that’s not a treacly mess. The latest hit series from the UK to get a holiday special is Agatha Raisin , the fashionable publicist-turned-sleuth played by Ashley Jensen.

Meanwhile, on a distant planet beyond the Rings, a new power rises. With Love (17 December) The enjoyment from this special doesn’t come from the mystery of who killed Phyllis. That mystery plods along, and is obtuse enough that it doesn’t encourage the audience to try to solve things along with Agatha. Also, finding out who actually did the deed doesn’t have the payoff it usually does because it doesn’t come out of left field or is all that ingenious a plot. She lives in the village of Carsely, but her detective agency Raisin Investigations and the police headquarters where Bill Wong is based are in the nearby town of Mircester. Even though Carsely and Mircester are fictional, they are based on true places; she does, however frequent Evesham, Moreton-in-Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Campden and other nearby villages quite often. Agatha's first case came when she first moved to Carsely and heard about a quiche competition. She promptly bought a spinach quiche in London from a famous quiche shop and entered it as her own. She was outraged she did not win but later the judge, Reg Cummings-Browne, took another slice and died from cowbane poisoning. Frustrated, Agatha set out to find the poisoner and clear her own name.

ITV Hub Piers Morgan’s Life Stories: Kate Garraway (5 December) Not the worst Christmas present I ever got, but close. Considering it’s hailed as “sharp, witty, hugely intelligent [and] unfailingly entertaining” I expected a whole lot more. I also expected it to be Christmas-themed given the title, but the plot takes place in October. Only the last chapter features a Christmas dinner which I thought was a bit of a let-down.
