Product Description
Review
"* 'Agatha Raisin is sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining, delightfully intolerant and oh so magnificently non PC. M C Beaton has created a new national treasure... the stories zing along and are irresistible, unput-downable, a joy. If you buy one book a year, let it be this. Agatha Raisin is The Strongest Link.' - Anne Robinson * 'Beaton's dry sense of humour and her unflattering but affectionate portrait of gruff, often adolescent acting Agatha make this... tale a bloom worth picking.' - Publishers Weekly"
Product Description
Reports of a haunted house soon have Agatha snooping around, but it turns out the victim is a universally disliked old biddy and someone is playing a practical joke. And then the old lady is murdered - but for Agatha, solving a crime is much more fun than hunting a ghost! Very soon she's up to her usual tricks, involving the villagers, local police, and, of course, her handsome new neighbour...

Format:Mass Market Paperback
M.C. Beaton has created another fantastic mystery in the Cotswolds and Agatha Raisin once again is there to save the day. I love her character, on the outside she is incredibly feisty and forward but the reader also gets to hear all the insecurities and worries that she carries round with her; making her a very believable and likable character. Her eye has been caught by her handsome new neighbour Paul Chatterton; he has a wife in Spain but is extremely flirtatious with Agatha so trouble soon ensues. Familiar characters from the series pop up in this book, there's Mrs Bloxby the vicar's wife, Bill Wong the policeman trying to keep Agatha out of trouble and Sir Charles Fraith, Agatha's part-time partner in crime. Beaton keeps you guessing to the very end about the death of the old lady and there are many red herrings along the way.
These books are a good, quick read, they keep you interested all the way through and the characters are so lovely that I always feel like I have spent the day with old friends whenever I read any of these!

I can't recommend these books highly enough. They amuse, entertain and provide escapism to the wonderful world of Agatha!! Ohhhh, how I'd love to move to the Cotswolds - if only to meet Agatha Raisin!

This time Agatha and Charles investigate a haunted house in a neighbouring village. This is one of my personal favourites and very entertaining with Bill Wong and the gang tracking down villains.

Once again up to her normal standard. Enjoyed it as much as all her previous books on Agatha Raisin.

another excellent read
I loved it - spellbound from beginning to end. Agatha is delightfully entertaining, warts and all. A murder mystery with a fallible, bumbling and successful private eye. Read more
