'Every new Agatha Raisin escapade is a total joy' – ASHLEY JENSEN 'No wonder she's been crowned Queen of Cosy Crime' – MAIL ON SUNDAY 'A Beaton novel is like The Archers on speed' – DAILY MAIL 'The detective novels of M C Beaton have reached cult status' – THE TIMES

Private Detective Agatha Raisin immerses herself in the glittering lifestyle of the fabulously wealthy when Sir Charles Fraith is accused of murder – and Agatha is named as his accomplice!

A high-society wedding, a glitzy masked ball, and an introduction to the world of international show-jumping, where the riders are glamorous, the horses are beautiful, and intrigue runs deep, leave Agatha with a list of suspects as long as a stallion's tail.

Sinister evidence then emerges that appears to seal Sir Charles's fate, and Agatha must uncover the truth before a net of skulduggery closes around him and he loses his ancestral home, his entire estate, and his freedom. And if events weren't complicated enough... Agatha's ex-husband James Lacey is back in Carsely and back in Agatha's heart...

In fact, I think she could be living my dream life' – Entertainment Weekly 'M. C. Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem' – Publishers Weekly '[Agatha] is a glorious cross between Miss Marple, Auntie Mame, and Lucille Ball . . . She's wonderful' – St. Petersburg Times 'Few things in life are more satisfying than to discover a brand-new Agatha Raisin mystery' – Tampa Tribune-Times 'Beaton has a winner in the irrepressible, romance-hungry Agatha' – Chicago Sun-Times
