Agatha Raisin and the Day the Floods Came
The twelfth in the Agatha Raisin murder mysteries
It can be hell in high water!
Drowned brides are like buses: nothing for ages, then two come along at the same time...!
Abandoned by her husband James, Agatha hops on a plane to the South Pacific, hoping to mend her broken heart. But there she meets a happy honeymooning couple, for whom disaster strikes when, tragically, the bride drowns.
Back home, alarm bells start ringing for Agatha when a woman, dressed in a wedding gown, is swept down river. The police say suicide, but Agatha, spurred on by recent memories, particularly her own disastrous marriage, sets out to prove them wrong.
Praise for the Agatha Raisin series:
'Sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining, delightfully intolerant and oh so magnificently non-PC, M.C. Beaton has created a national treasure' β Anne Robinson
'M.C. Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem' β Publishers Weekly
'The Miss Marple-like Raisin is a refreshing, sensible, wonderfully eccentric, thoroughly likeable heroine' β Booklist
'Once started, you'll have a job to put it down until you've finished' β Amazon reader, Kent
'Another wonderful tale about Agatha and her chums... Long live Aggie!' β Bookworm, Essex

M.C. Beaton's detective novels have achieved a cult following due to their blend of outrageous black comedy, as noted by The Times. Agatha Raisin is compared to a more edgy Miss Marple, with a penchant for drinking, smoking, and romance, which Entertainment Weekly finds delightfully engaging. My Weekly considers it another triumph for fans of Beaton's work.
