From Library Journal

After losing her hair in her last adventure (Agatha Raisin and the Wizard of Evesham, LJ 4/1/99), Agatha retreats to a seaside resort to regrow it. She consults a witch for a hair tonic, which seems to work, but then someone murders the witch. More great fun from an endearing heroine.

Product Description

There is nothing more depressing for a middle-aged lovelorn woman with bald patches on her head than to find herself in an English seaside resort out of season. Agatha Raisin, her hair falling out after a run-in with a hairdresser-cum-murderess from a previous investigation, travels to an old-fashioned hotel in order to repair the damage away from the neighbors in her all-too-cozy Cotswolds village. Unhappy about the slow results and prompted by the elderly residents of the resort, she consults the local witch for help. Agatha purchases a hair tonic (and a love potion, just in case!) and is soon sprouting hairs and capturing the fancy of the village police inspector. But the quiet town is stunned by the murder of the witch. Which one of the graying guests is capable of such a brutal crime? The brassy yet endearing Agatha won't stop until she finds the culprit--and, of course, a little love, too.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Agatha Explores Curses, Potions, Fortunes . . . and Romance as She Pines in Exile for James Lacey, Aoû 2 2007
This review is from: Agatha Raisin and the Witch of Wyckhadden (Mass Market Paperback)
If you haven't yet read Agatha Raisin and the Wizard of Evesham, you should read that book before starting this one. There's a continuity of story line that adds to the appeal of Agatha Raisin and the Witch of Wyckhadden.

At the end of Agatha Raisin and the Wizard of Evesham, Agatha is having the ultimate bad hair day as she has lost most of hers. Not wanting her former fiancé, James Lacey, to see her looking like that, Agatha flees Carsely for a spot on the south coast of England in Wyckhadden during winter. She soon finds that neither the weather nor the wintry attitudes of her fellow guests at the Garden Hotel suit her fancy. With her hair firmly covered by a wig and scarves, Agatha does venture out when a nice-looking man invites her dancing.

Concerned about her hair, Agatha is soon persuaded to visit the local witch, who offers many remedies that often seem to work. Having bought some hair potion, Agatha decides it won't hurt to buy a bottle of love potion while she's there.

Pretty soon, Agatha's hair is growing in again, she seems to be having success with the love potion, but Wyckhadden and its residents are getting on her nerves. Uncharacteristically erratic, Agatha gets into lots of trouble by lying to the police . . . which causes great problems when dead bodies start turning up. No one takes her very seriously as a sleuth, and even Agatha begins to suspect that she's no more than a pushy blunderer whose ineptness triggers violent solutions to crimes.

In this book, M. C. Beaton is determined to convince readers that Agatha's many fears (of aging, being alone, losing James Lacey, not being the center of attention, losing a friend, and not having something to do) are destroying her chances for happiness. I think you'll agree with M. C. Beaton.

But Agatha's self-sabotaging behavior gets to be more than a little annoying in this book, making Agatha Raisin and the Witch of Wyckhadden one of the weakest entries in this generally entertaining series. Unless you feel compelled to read all of the novels in this series, you could certainly skip this one. You probably won't find the plot to be all that interesting; the new characters among the suspects and victims aren't likely to enlist your sympathy; and the mysteries aren't particularly rewarding either.

2.0étoiles sur 5 It's a Mystery to Me!, Oct. 13 2003
Par J. Fletcher "firemaiden" (Moorpark, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Agatha Raisin and the Witch of Wyckhadden (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the second Agatha Raisin mystery that I have read...and I'm sorry to say that it will be my last. I thought that having a middle-aged, former professional woman as the sleuth was a nice twist, but M.C. Beaton apparently hates middle-aged women. The uniqueness of the plots of both the Witch of Wyckhadden and the Wizard of Evesham is spoiled by the author's depiction of a mean-spirited, self-centered, whining and grassing woman. If it were only Agatha that comes across as grossly unsympathetic and unlikeable, the other characters might have seemed more interesting by comparison and story line might actually have been enhanced. Beaton, however, does a remarkable job of causing you to dislike nearly every character and to become totally indifferent to their fate. I was actually rooting to have more of the odious creatures knocked off just so that I wouldn't have to read any more about them before coming to the solution! Agatha has been criticized for stumbling upon solutions before, and this "triumph" is not any more a matter of detection than the others. I love the cozy genre, but there is nothing cozy, comfortable, or challenging in this series of books. Do yourself a favor and pick up a Catherine Aird story instead...she's not prolific, but every book is a gem.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Hail, Hail, the Witch is Dead!, Juil 1 2003
This review is from: Agatha Raisin and the Witch of Wyckhadden (Mass Market Paperback)
In this 9th book in the Agatha Raisin series, the reader finds Agatha desperately trying to regrow the hair that fell out during her previous case. She retreats to a resort for some relaxation and to give her hair some time to regrow, and quickly learns that there is a witch in town that might be able to provide a tonic to help in this process. While she is visiting the witch, she decides to purchase a love potion to help in her never-ending romantic problems. During her visit to the town, the witch is murdered, and Agatha attempts to help the local police officer solve the case, and also tries to catch his eye in the process.

I enjoyed this case primarily because Agatha was not mooning over James Lacey as she has in previous books. I enjoy the character of Agatha, and since I am rooting for her to have a good romance, I felt that it might actually happen for her with Jimmy. Overall, I enjoyed the book as a part of the Agatha series, but if you have never read any of the other books it would probably be better to start elsewhere first. This was not Agatha at her most endearing but still an excellent read.

The first book in the series is "Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death". Enjoy!
