Praise for M.C. Beaton 'The detective novels of M.C. Beaton a master of outrageous black
comedy have reached cult status' The Times '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 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!
