Sea, sand – and the slammer for Agatha!
Agatha Raisin thinks she’s in for a treat when her ex-husband James Lacey invites her on holiday but – horrors! – his idea of an idyllic break is the small, run-down resort of Burryhill-on-Sea. And from there on things go from bad to worse, so when a fellow guest in their hotel is found murdered, Agatha herself is chief suspect – and has to solve this case from a locked police cell!
Praise for the Agatha Raisin series:
‘Sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining . . . M. C. Beaton has created a national treasure’ Anne Robinson
”M. C. Beaton’s imperfect heroine is an absolute gem’ Publishers Weekly
‘An enchanting series . . . M. C. Beaton has a foolproof plot for the village mystery’ New York Times Book Review

Reviews
‘The detective novels of M C Beaton, a master of outrageous black comedy, have reached cult status.’
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.
