There may be trouble ahead... so will Agatha face the music?

Can the feisty Agatha cut it as a private investigator? She soon learns that running her own detective agency in the Cotswolds is not quite like starring in a Raymond Chandler movie. But then walks in wealthy divorcée Catherine Laggat-Brown, and Agatha is given her first real case. Death threats, blackmail and physical attack soon follow, and once again Agatha is off scouring the countryside for clues and showing friends and enemies alike what Raisin Investigations can do!

Agatha Raisin and the Deadly Dance offers a potent mix of mystery and adventure.

Praise for the Agatha Raisin series:

'M.C. Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem' - Publishers Weekly

'The Miss Marple-like Raisin is a refreshing, sensible, wonderfully eccentric, thoroughly likeable heroine.' - Booklist
