About this ebook
Beloved New York Times bestseller M. C. Beaton's cranky, crafty Agatha Raisin—the star of her own hit T.V. series—is back on the case again.
Agatha Raisin’s private detective agency has their work cut out for them when a series of shop burglaries disturbs their quiet Cotswolds village. When the break-ins take a violent turn and a murder occurs, it's all hands on deck to find the killer. As if that weren't keeping Agatha busy enough, Sir Charles Fraith has called on her to help stage a glamorous promotional extravaganza on the grounds of his ancestral home, Barfield House.
When Agatha begins to receive death threats and narrowly avoids being kidnapped, she takes advantage of a previously arranged trip to Mallorca with her recent paramour, former police officer John Glass, to lie low for a while.
Can Agatha track down whoever it is that wants her dead, nail the murderer, and keep her romance alive too? It's a race against the clock as the Cotswolds' favorite PI rushes to put the pieces together before the seconds run out.

NOBODY takes advantage of Agatha!🔍 This latest in the Agatha Raisin series was good, cozy fun, with murder, burglary, attacks and threats to keep Agatha and her detective crew alert and busy. Plus, Sir Charles Fraith is trying to tempt Agatha back to his side with a centuries old local mystery to occupy her thoughts instead of Agatha's current dance partner beau. I sort of miss how easily Agatha used to be preoccupied by vanity or latest handsome man on the scene but still get a kick from her!
