'No wonder she's been crowned Queen of Cosy Crime' MAIL ON SUNDAY

'A Beaton novel is like The Archers on speed' DAILY MAIL

Commemorative edition of the first Agatha Raisin mystery from bestselling author M. C. Beaton, who sadly passed away last year

__________________________

Revenge is a dish best served warm...

High-flying public relations supremo Agatha Raisin has decided to take early retirement. She's off to make a new life in a picture-perfect Cotswold village. To make friends, she enters the local quiche-making competition - and to make quite sure of first prize she secretly pays a visit to a London deli.

Alas, the competition judge succumbs after tasting her perfect quiche, and Agatha is revealed as a cheat and potential poisoner. Definitely not the best start. So Agatha must turn amateur sleuth - she's absolutely got to track down the real killer and clear her name!

Praise for the Agatha Raisin series:

'Full of perfectly pitched interest, intrigue, and charm'
Lee Child

Fairly lacklustre characters with a weak, clumsily paced story. The main protagonist is not terribly likeable nor very clever. There are better books in this genre, this one seemed to be a bit of a waste of time.
