Agatha Raisin and the Case of the Curious Curate

Praise for M. C. Beaton "The Miss Marplelike Raisin is refreshingly sensible and wonderfully eccentric."Buffalo News Agatha Raisin and the Day the Floods Came "This is a true village mystery with a heroine so timely and real, you want to meet her at the pub, join her on holiday, even listen to her whine about weight. Though hardly faultless, Agatha remains the most feisty and fragile mystery heroine on the shelves."St. Petersburg Times "Agatha Raisin, a cranky, crude, and raunchy woman somehow (and this reviewer doesn't have a clue) manages to warm her way into the reader's heart and elicit their sympathy. The latest installment in this long-running series is funny, breezy and very enjoyable."Midwest Book Review Agatha Raisin and the Love from Hell "Among the many joys of all Agatha Raisin adventures are Beaton's sweetly formal prose and her vivid descriptions of colorful villagers. This one, however, adds a crackerjack plot and a delightfully comic ending to the mix, making it clearly the best of the lot."Booklist (starred review) "M. C. Beaton's eleventh Agatha Raisin book is a reason to celebrate.... [It has all] the vitality and robustness of a new series."Tulsa WorldBeaton, M.
