Publishers Description: An unexpected hike to the Other Side . . . After time away, Agatha Raisin returns to her beloved Cotswold village of Carsely - and to her handsome neighbour, James Lacey. True, James seems less than thrilled to see her, but Agatha is soon distracted by a sensational murder. The victim, found in a field, is young hiker Jessica Tartinck, who spent her life enraging landowners by insisting on her right to roam. Hope springs eternal in Agathas breast as she lures the reluctant James into her investigation. There are so many leads to follow, for Jessicas fellow walkers - not to mention the landowners - all seem able to commit murder. Praise for the Agatha Raisin series:M. C. Beatons imperfect heroine is an absolute gem. Publishers WeeklyThe detective novels of M. C. Beaton, a master of outrageous black comedy, have reached cult status. The TimesBeing a cranky, middle-aged female myself, I found Agatha charming! Amazon customer reviewI dream of being able to speak out like Aggie . . . shes a heroine! A. Lucas, Essex, reader review Industry Reviews Beatons dry sense of humour and her unflattering but affectionate portrait of gruff, often adolescent-acting Agatha makes this . . . a bloom worth plucking. - Publishers WeeklySharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining. . . M C Beaton has created a national treasure. - Anne RobinsonIts been said of Agatha Christie that shes given more pleasure in bed than any other woman, but M.C. Beaton is matching her as a prolific purveyor of cosy whodunits perfect for pre-lights out reading ... like Midsummer Murders but with wit and a bit of edge. - Telegraph on Sunday
