Agatha Raisin and the Curious Curate

No wonder she''s been crowned Queen of Cosy Crime'' Mail on Sunday

He was a vicar to die for - and he did!

Agatha is going through a man-hating phase and so is unmoved by news of the captivating new curate. But when she meets the golden-haired, blue-eyed Tristan Delon, she is swept off her feet . . . along with every other female in the village. She is positively ecstatic when he invites her to dine with him but the next day Agatha is left with a hangover from hell - and his cold corpse suggests that, once again, she''s in the frame for murder!

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
