AGATHA RAISIN, Series 3 on May 26, 2020. Emmy and SAG-nominated actress Ashley Jensen (Extras, Catastrophe, Love, Lies & Records) is back in the P.I business as she resumes the comic antics, crafty know-how, and chic fashions of the charismatic sleuth in the quintessentially British village mystery based on the bestselling novels by M.C. Beaton. Brimming with the show’s trademark frolicsome adventures and colorful, eclectic characters, this three-disc DVD set ($39.99, Amazon.com) includes four feature-length mysteries, as well as a bonus disk with locations tour, behind-the-scenes featurette, Q&A, and games with the cast. Series 3 of Agatha Raisin previously premiered on Acorn TV in February 2020. Called a “glorious streaming service… an essential must-have” (The Hollywood Reporter), AMC Networks’ Acorn TV is North America’s most popular and largest streaming service featuring high-quality television from Britain and Beyond.
In Series 3 of this contemporary mystery, Agatha is now an official private investigator and operates her first detective agency, where pressures are high to keep new business flowing. In the Halloween special, Agatha Raisin and The Haunted House, Agatha’s new agency fails to attract clients, so James (Jamie Glover, Waterloo Road) suggests they investigate the haunting of Ivy Hall, a mystery that has baffled locals, historians and ambitious treasure hunters for centuries, as the perfect opportunity to drum up business. In the first episode, Agatha Raisin & the Deadly Dance, Agatha investigates a young woman about to get married—however, the case takes an unexpected turn when the would-be-assassin is found dead. In Agatha Raisin & the Love from Hell, James (Jamie Glover, Waterloo Road) vanishes after a blazing row with Agatha; leaving behind only a trail of blood and a dead body, everyone is left fearing the worst. Lastly, in Agatha Raisin: As the Pig Turns, Agatha takes a relaxing trip to a traditional winter festival with her team to temporarily relieve her troubles behind, but her plans are quickly derailed when a gruesome discovery leaves all of Carsely fearing for their safety.

While I love all the intense crime thrillers available today, it's also nice to find one with a little humor once in a while. Agatha Raisin offers just that. After almost being accused of murder herself, the former executive discovers she's pretty good a solving crimes. As more people turn up dead, she joins forced with the local detective to bring the murderers to justice. The thid season includes four feature length episodes based off the best-selling novels.
Agatha Raisin and the Haunted House - Agatha finds herself mixed up in murder in a Halloween themed special featuring an all star cast.
Agatha Raisin & the Deadly Dance Part 1 - A negative article in the paper could end Agatha's business. Her daughter starts receiving death threats.
Agatha Raisin & the Deadly Dance Part 2 - An hit-man is killed in Agatha's kitchen. Toni is searching for a missing dog.
Agatha Raisin & the Love from Hell - Agatha is preparing for a jazz show, but there's a lot of tension between her and James. A woman James was fighting with turns up dead and he disappears.
I really enjoyed this series Agatha is quirky and makes me laugh at times, yet I still get a good muster every time. I'd looking forward to seeing what comes about in the next season. If you'd like to grab a copy of his awesome new series, you can find it online at Acorn Media or on Amazon.
