Agatha Raisin: As The Pig Turns

The as ever eagerly awaited 22nd installment of Agatha Raisin.

Winter Parva, a traditional Cotswolds village next door to Carsely, has decided to throw a celebratory hog roast to mark the beginning of the winter holiday festivities. Agatha Raisin has arrived with her friend and rival in the sleuthing business, Toni, to enjoy the merriment. But as the spit pig is carried towards the bed of fiery charcoal, Agatha—and the rest of the village—realise that things aren't as they seem...

Very quickly, it transpires that the spit pig is, in fact, Gary Beech, a policeman not much loved in Winter Parva. Although Agatha has every intention of leaving the affair to the police, she rapidly changes her mind when she discovers that Gary's ex-wife has hired Toni to investigate. Cantankerous and competitive as Agatha is, she now has to join the fray and try to solve the case herself!

Praise for M. C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin series:

"I know I once vowed to read only Agatha Christie for a year but I cheated. My No. 1 mistress, M.C. Beaton and her Agatha Raisin whodunits. Agatha is like Miss Marple with a drinking problem, a pack-a-day habit and major man lust. In fact, I think she may be living my dream life" Entertainment Weekly.

"Once again M. C. Beaton has concocted an amusing brew of mystery and romance that will keep her fans turning the pages" Publisher's Weekly.

"Pure entertainment" The Guardian.
