About this title

Synopsis

He was a vicar to die for - and he did! Agatha is going through a man-hating phase and so is unmoved by news of the captivating new curate. But when she meets the golden-haired, blue eyed Tristan Delon, she is swept off her feet...along with every other female in the village. She is positively ecstatic when he invites her to dine with him but the next day Agatha is left with a hangover from hell - and his cold corpse suggests that, once again, she's in the frame for murder! Praise for "The Agatha Raisin Series": 'Sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining, delightfully intolerant and oh so magnificently non-PC, M.C. Beaton has created a national treasure' - Anne Robinson. 'M.C. Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem' - "Publishers Weekly". 'The Miss Marple-like Raisin is a refreshing, sensible, wonderfully eccentric, thoroughly likeable heroine' - "Booklist".

From the Back Cover

Praise for M. C. Beaton

"The Miss Marple–like Raisin is refreshingly sensible and wonderfully eccentric."―Buffalo News

Agatha Raisin and the Day the Floods Came
"This is a true village mystery with a heroine so timely and real, you want to meet her at the pub, join her on holiday, even listen to her whine about weight. Though hardly faultless, Agatha remains the most feisty and fragile mystery heroine on the shelves."―St. Petersburg Times

"Agatha Raisin, a cranky, crude, and raunchy woman somehow (and this reviewer doesn't have a clue) manages to warm her way into the reader's heart and elicit their sympathy. The latest installment in this long-running series is funny, breezy and very enjoyable."―Midwest Book Review

Agatha Raisin and the Love from Hell
"Among the many joys of all Agatha Raisin adventures are Beaton's sweetly formal prose and her vivid descriptions of colorful villagers. This one, however, adds a crackerjack plot and a delightfully comic ending to the mix, making it clearly the best of the lot."―Booklist (starred review)

"M. C. Beaton's eleventh Agatha Raisin book is a reason to celebrate.... [It has all] the vitality and robustness of a new series."―Tulsa World
