About this title

Review:

M C Beaton is the author of the highly acclaimed Hamish Macbeth mystery series. This novel begins a new series featuring sleuth Mrs Agatha Raisin. Born in Scotland, Beaton now lives in the Costwolds. (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)

Review:

'M. C. Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem.' (Publishers Weekly)

'The detective novels of M. C. Beaton, a master of outrageous black comedy, have reached cult status.' (The Times)

'The Miss Marple-like Raisin is a refreshing, sensible, wonderfully eccentric, thoroughly likeable heroine.' (Booklist)
