Agatha Raisin: Hiss and Hers

The 23rd Agatha Raisin mystery. Agatha has fallen in love - again . . .

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Agatha Raisin: Hiss and Hers sees Agatha falling in love once again. This time, the object of her affection is the local gardener, George Marston. However, she isn’t the only one vying for his attention. With her shameless determination, Agatha is willing to do anything to win him over—even footing the bill for a charity ball in town just to have the chance to dance with him.

When George fails to appear at the event, Agatha sets out to find him, only to discover that he has been murdered. To her horror, she learns he was bitten by a poisonous snake and buried in a compost heap.

Agatha and her crew dive into the investigation, uncovering George's complicated love life in the process. If Agatha cannot have George, she is at least determined to confront the women who did and find the murderer.
