Agatha Raisin (2016)

Ashley Jensen plays M. C. Beaton's brash London PR executive who retires to a Cotswold village, enters a shop-bought quiche in a baking contest and becomes a suspect when the judge dies. Agatha is vain, impatient and often wrong before she is right, which makes her far funnier than the usual unflappable sleuth. The village crowd and an on-and-off romance with James Lacey keep it as much comedy as mystery. Ideal if you want a heroine with flaws and a laugh in every scene.
