About this title

Review:

"What makes readers love Agatha Raisin?...Somehow this cranky middle-aged dame's many flaws only make her more appealing." --Booklist

"[Beaton's] imperfect heroine is an absolute gem!" --Publishers Weekly

"Once more, a murder mystery saves Agatha from the threat of boredom. It seems that handsome neighbor Paul has offered their investigative services to the owner of a reputedly haunted house. When the owner turns up dead, the pair know for sure something's going on. Another delightful series adventure." --Library Journal

"Curmudgeonly but lovable Agatha Raisin cheerfully grouses her way through the English countryside in this cozy mystery. What at first seems to be a rather routine murder case gathers twists and turns--and a few more bodies--as it moves along.... Agatha is as on the mark as ever, and so is her author." --RT Book Reviews

Review:

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