The Deadly Dance 30 [15] Beaton, M
(15/30) The Deadly Dance 30 [15] Beaton, M. C. Minotaur Books (2010) Bossy, impulsive, and unlucky in love, the all-too-human Agatha Raisin has proved to be a surprisingly effective---and endearing---amateur sleuth. But can Agatha make it as a private investigator? After getting mugged on vacation, in what she will always think of as the Paris Incident, she decides to find out. Agatha soon learns that running her own detective agency in the Cotswolds is not quite like starring in a Raymond Chandler movie. Instead of dames in distress with big shoulder pads, her clients are ladies with missing cats and a man whose son has run off with his car. Agatha even worries that she might be outclassed by her sixty-seven-year- old secretary, Emma Comfrey. But then wealthy divorcée Catherine Laggat-Brown walks in with their first "real" case. Mrs. Laggat- Brown's daughter has received a death threat, and when Agatha thwarts an attack on the girl at a dinner dance, she recognizes an opportunity to show what Raisin Investigations can do. Even better, the case gives her a chance to reunite with her long-absent friend, Sir Charles Fraith. As they scour the Cotswolds in search of leads, Charles' insights prove invaluable and his charms irresistible, leading poor Emma to fall madly in love with him. As ever, Agatha bumbles her way through the case, trying her friends' patience and flirting shamelessly with the chief suspect. Will she put her tiny agency on the map, or has even the outrageous Agatha finally bitten off more than she can chew? GET A CLUE! Be the first to hear the latest mystery book news.… With the St.

Amazing news has spread across the Scottish countryside. The most famous of highland bachelors, police sergeant Hamish Macbeth, will be married at last. Everyone in the village of Lochdubh adores Josie McSween, Macbeth’s newest constable and blushing bride-to-be. While the locals think Josie is quite a catch, Hamish has a case of prenuptial jitters. After all, if it weren’t for the recent murder of a beautiful woman in a neighboring village, there wouldn’t be a wedding at all. For it was a mysterious Valentine’s Day package—delivered to the victim before her death—that initially drew Hamish and Josie together on the investigation. As they work side by side, Hamish and Josie soon discover that the woman’s list of admirers was endless, confirming Hamish’s suspicion that love can be blind, deaf…and deadly. In addition to the popular Hamish Macbeth series, M. C. Beaton writes the Agatha Raisin mystery series; she also writes Regency romances under her real name, Marion Chesney.

BEATING ABOUT THE BUSH Agatha Raisin Mystery #30 (St. Martin’s / November 2019) New York Times bestseller M. C. Beaton's cranky, crafty Agatha Raisin―now the star of a hit T.V. show―is back on the case again. One of Private Detective Agatha Raisin's many quirks was her tendency to exclaim, every time she drove along a motorway bordered by dense woodland, "What a good place to dump a body!" Yet she's clearly not the only one to think so, the police realize, after poor elderly Mrs. Dunwiddy is found dead in the scrub by the road leading out of Mircester. Agatha digs into the case, facing off with everyone from secretive factory bosses to Russian officials as she wades deeper into the mystery surrounding the killing. And as if things weren't complicated enough, Agatha finds herself grappling with intensifying feelings for her friend and occasional lover, Sir Charles Fraith. Will Agatha get her man at last? Or will the killer get her first?

AGATHA RAISIN ENQUÊTE La Quiche Fatale – Remède De Cheval
AGATHA RAISIN ENQUÊTE La quiche fatale – Remède de cheval M.C. BEATON Traduit de l’anglais par Esther Ménévis En librairie le 2 juin 2016 LE LIVRE « Entre Agatha Christie et l’inspecteur Barnaby, des suspenses incisifs, humoristiques, intelligents et suprêmement distrayants… L’Agatha Raisin de M.C. Beaton est un véritable trésor national. » The Times Agatha Raisin est une self-made woman qui a fait fortune dans la communication. Intelligente, pugnace, sans trop de scrupules, elle a l’habitude que rien ne lui résiste, mais peut être aussi un véritable cœur d’artichaut… À 53 ans, elle décide de prendre une retraite anticipée dans un ravissant village des Costwolds : un saut dans l’inconnu pour cette Londonienne bon teint. Agatha Raisin, c’est une Miss Marple d’aujourd’hui. Une quinqua qui n’a pas froid aux yeux, fume comme un pompier et boit sec. À la fois exaspérante et attendrissante, elle vous fera mourir de rire ! L’AUTEUR Née en 1936 à Glasgow, Marion Chesney alias M.C. Beaton a été libraire et journaliste avant de devenir un des auteurs de best-sellers les plus lus de Grande-Bretagne avec ses deux séries de romans policiers : Hamish MacBeth et surtout Agatha Raisin (plus de 15 millions d’exemplaires vendus dans le monde). Records d’audience pendant les fêtes de Noël 2014, l’adaptation par Sky One d’Agatha Raisin enquête – La quiche fatale (premier volume de la série) a été achetée par France 3.
