About this listen

 'Every new Agatha Raisin escapade is a total joy' ASHLEY JENSEN

'No wonder she's been crowned Queen of Cosy Crime' MAIL ON SUNDAY

'A Beaton novel is like The Archers on speed' DAILY MAIL

'The detective novels of M C Beaton have reached cult status' THE TIMES


Private Detective Agatha Raisin immerses herself in the glittering lifestyle of the fabulously wealthy when Sir Charles Fraith is accused of murder - and Agatha is named as his accomplice!

A high-society wedding, a glitzy masked ball, and an introduction to the world of international show-jumping where the riders are glamorous, the horses are beautiful, and intrigue runs deep, leave Agatha with a list of suspects as long as a stallion's tail.

Sinister evidence then emerges that appears to seal Sir Charles's fate and Agatha must uncover the truth before a net of skulduggery closes around him and he loses his ancestral home, his entire estate, and his freedom. And if events weren't complicated enough... Agatha's ex-husband James Lacey is back in Carsely and back in Agatha's heart...

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

'Irresistible, unputdownable, a joy' Anne Robinson

'Agatha is like Miss Marple with a drinking problem, a pack-a-day habit and major man lust. In fact, I think she could be living my dream life' Entertainment Weekly

'M. C. Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem' Publishers Weekly

'[Agatha] is a glorious cross between Miss Marple, Auntie Mame, and Lucille Ball . . . She's wonderful' St. Petersburg Times

'Few things in life are more satisfying than to discover a brand-new Agatha Raisin mystery' Tampa Tribune-Times

Critic reviews

Every new Agatha Raisin escapade is a total joy (Ashley Jensen)
No wonder she's been crowned Queen of Cosy Crime
A Beaton novel is like The Archers on speed
The detective novels of M C Beaton, a master of outrageous black comedy, have reached cult status
Full of perfectly pitched interest, intrigue, and charm (Lee Child)
Agatha Raisin is sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining. . . M C Beaton has created a new national treasure... the stories zing along and are irresistible, unputdownable, a joy (Anne Robinson)
M. C. Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem
Agatha is like Miss Marple with a drinking problem, a pack-a-day habit and major man lust. In fact, I think she could be living my dream life
The bucolic romantic entanglements sizzle . . . Beaton is like a less explicit Jilly Cooper . . . She also has a rebarbative wit that is worth any amount of gritty realism

Too many people called Agatha Aggie, only Charles called her that ! enjoyed it though

Aggie?

It’s a shame that this will be the last Agatha Raisin following the death of MC Beaton. I’ve read all of the books and enjoyed them immensely

A last farewell to Agatha

A few mistakes but overall a fantastic book. Really hoping there will be many more from our new foster author.

Another great book

Absolutely loved this book. So sorry to hear about the passing of the MC Heaton. I do hope that the co-author continues the journey as this was definitely one of the many good ones.

A great Agatha story

Wow this was wonderful. Just when I thought we would never see another Agatha Raisin adventure this emerges. And it ranks among the best of them. Marvellous!
