About the Author
M. C. BEATON, who was the British guest of honor at Bouchercon 2006, has been hailed as the "Queen of Crime" (The Globe and Mail). In addition to her New York Times and USA Today bestselling Agatha Raisin novels, Beaton is the author of the Hamish Macbeth series and four Edwardian mysteries. Born in Scotland, she currently divides her time between the English Cotswolds and Paris.
From Booklist
Some people love an English cream tea, in which clotted cream is lavished on crumpets in an artery-threatening way, and some people find cream teas incredibly cloying. Whatever side you’re on, you’ll recognize the same phenomenon—some say scrumptious, some say cloying—reading this cozy starring Agatha Raisin, a private eye in the Cotswolds. Beaton just about clobbers her readers over the head with multiple references to “the Cotswolds,” “the neighboring hamlet,” “the vicar’s wife.” There’s even a lady of the manor, who, we are told, is very much like Maggie Smith as the Dowager Duchess in Downton Abbey. The plot is fairly predictable: a newcomer to a tiny village with a bad habit of “borrowing” others’ belongings is found poisoned after drinking some pilfered wine. Agatha moves from pub to vicar’s house to manor house, questioning everyone in sight. Although this is set in today’s world, it seems very much like the world of the early twentieth century. Beaton’s Agatha Raisin series is extremely popular and, often, good fun. This one seems like a too-calculated cozy—except for the clotted-cream crowd. --Connie Fletcher
