Product Information

Private detective Agatha Raisin - a fiftyish Englishwoman with small bear-like eyes and shiny brown hair - lives in Carsley, a pretty village in the Cotswolds. Agatha and her assistant, Toni, are driving to their friend Bill Wong’s wedding, thinking of nothing more than what the beautiful bride will be wearing when a terrified young man comes running down the country lane towards them wearing. This was followed by a move to Fleet Street to the Daily Express where she became chief woman reporter. She left Smith’s to join Scottish Field magazine as a secretary in the advertising department, without any shorthand or typing, but quickly got the job of fashion editor instead.

John agrees, and Agatha is almost positive that the body in the lake is Antonio's body and puts Ursula on the list of her suspects who murdered the disappearing body. And the headmistress of Martinbrook Sixth Form College discovers drug dealing at the school, and a youthful private detective poses as a student to track down the culprit. Her natural voice has always been pleasant, but she is also extremely talented at performing various accents or regional dialects, adding a lisp, and supporting personalities related to gender, age, and education. But Agatha and Toni grow suspicious after meeting some of the club’s members, whose diverse interests range from artisanal ice cream to ancient curses.C. Beaton, pen-name of Marion Chesney (1936-2019) due to her great number of published works which helped me through the lockdown periods of the pandemic.

Agatha band Toni are in their way to their friend Bill’s wedding when a naked man comes stumbling out in front of their car. There was a man, Jasper Crane, who was the Demon Master in a role-playing game with Demons and angels.

Agatha and Charles try to get Theresa to go to the police, as she has Antonio's tickets and passport for Spain. This starts out with Toni and Agatha driving to Bill Wong's wedding when a naked man runs out onto the road and flags them down. She is consistently the most borrowed UK adult author in British libraries, and her Agatha Raisin books have been turned into a TV series on Sky. Agatha’s theories about the murder slowly point to the perp, but the excitement is in “how” the perpetrators are exposed and arrested.

Theresa and Antonio were having an affair, and before they were to go to Spain together, he disappeared. The two handmaidens that Agatha and Toni met and thought were a little too weird and instantly put them on their list of suspects were two sisters, Ursula Danieli and Ulrika Rayner.

Google-worthy elements are added about the Rollright stones, Whispering Knights, the King Stone, and the Lone Warrior, the Italian opera Cavalleria Rusticana, and even unique ice cream flavors…chili peppers? The mysteries are rambling and convoluted, Agatha’s love life is complicated, and there are an abundance of over-the-top moments that require suspension of disbelief.

In this 33rd book in the 'Agatha Raisin' series, the private detective investigates cases involving murder, theft, and drug dealing.
