Users who like Agatha Raisin: Devil's Delight by M.C. Beaton, read by Penelope Keith (Audiobook extract)

Get him something to cover himself up with, Toni,” said Agatha. “We need to find out what this is all about.” There’s a lot going on in the story and lots of characters to keep up with but it was missing it’s classic Agatha wit and humor for me. In this one, Agatha and Toni Gilmour, a detective in Agatha's detective agency, Raisin Investigations, drive to Agatha's friends at the police force wedding. They think they see things that aren't real when a man tries to stop them, looking as if he wants to say something. There was nothing necessarily unusual about that, except this man, who we later find out is Edward Carstairs, is completely naked! Yet this stone is not cold,” Agatha said, laying her hand on the Lone Warrior, “and there’s a damp patch in the middle—a little puddle of water.” Agatha and her assistant, Toni, are driving to their friend Bill Wong's wedding, thinking of nothing more than what the beautiful bride will be wearing when a terrified young man comes running down the country lane towards them wearing. . . nothing at all.

Summary

Devil's Delight was a fun read. I have read several books in this series. Agatha Raison is the main character along with the characters from the other books. The new characters add to the story. Agatha is quite a character who is very much into her looks and her desire to find a man. Few things in life are more satisfying than to discover a brand-new Agatha Raisin mystery' Tampa Tribune-Times

Just cover yourself up,” Agatha said, a sharp note of impatience in her voice, “and get in. I want to see where you found the body. You can tell us how you ended up in this state on the way.” No,” Agatha said firmly when she saw where Toni was looking. “He’s not using my fascinator as some kind of codpiece.” Just sitting there?” said Agatha, wincing slightly when she stepped off the grass onto a vague path at the edge of the woods where pebbles, twigs, spiky leaves and other forest-floor debris alien to the tender soles of a city girl’s feet lay in ambush. Toni was wearing flat shoes and a look of sympathy. Agatha gritted her teeth and marched on, sandals in one hand, clutch bag in the other. To prepare for the wedding of her friends, Detective Sergeant Bill Wong and Detective Constable Alice Peters, Agatha slims down to bikini size.....and even looks good nude. This is fortuitous because Agatha gets involved with a homicide in a nudist colony. Agatha and Toni think Ursula or her sister, or both have killed Antonio. Toni suggests that since Ulrika leads the role-playing game for the naturist club, she may ask to participate and get a better idea of whether or not Ulrika and her sister killed Antonio.I didn’t hear any motorbike,” Edward said. “The thing that spooked me was when I heard a mobile phone ring just as I touched the body. Obviously it wasn’t my own phone…” Yes, yes, that all makes perfect sense,” Agatha said, turning to face Edward but finding the sight of him clutching a T-shirt around his groin so awkward that she immediately faced forwards again, “but where does a dead body fit in? And where are your clothes?” My clothes are inside,” said Edward, “in the male changing room. I’ll go grab my shorts and my phone. I need to call the police.” Jasper has Agatha taste Antonio's ice cream and tells her about his favorite flavor Antonio makes called Devil' Delight, which has chili peppers in it. Ursula always calls him when they make it. The Devil's Delight ice cream is the part where I can't explain further without getting into spoilers, and I try not to write spoilers.
