Revenge is a dish best served warm...High-flying public relations supremo Agatha Raisin has decided to take early retirement. She's off to make a new life in a picture-perfect Cotswold village. To make friends, she enters the local quiche-making competition - and to make quite sure of first prize she secretly pays a visit to a London deli. Alas, the competition judge succumbs after tasting her perfect quiche, and Agatha is revealed as a cheat and potential poisoner. Definitely not the best start. So Agatha must turn amateur sleuth - she's absolutely got to track down the real killer! Praise for the Agatha Raisin series: 'M. C. Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem.' Publishers Weekly 'Irresistible, unputdownable, a joy.' Anne Robinson
A fun lighthearted murder mystery in the Agatha Christie tradition.
Agatha Raisin has taken early retirement when a company offers to buy her public relations business. She goes to find peace in a village in the Cotswolds. She finds breaking into the close-knit community quite hard and attempts to make an impression by winning a quiche making competition. Trouble is, she has no idea how to make a quiche, so she cheats and buys one from a London Deli. When the competition judge dies from poisoning she's the most likely suspect, particularly when her quiche didn't win. She starts looking into it.
