Description
When a neighboring vicar asks Agatha Raisin to help drum up support for a church fête, she eagerly steps in—only to find that the village’s cheerful festivities hide something far darker. As a jam-tasting booth turns deadly and the event spirals into murder, Agatha and her sharp-tongued, much-too-pretty sidekick Toni are pulled into a web of tampering, missing funds, and long-buried grudges. With handsome George Selby drawing her attention even as suspicion follows him, Agatha must sift through village gossip and motive before the next body appears. Blending brisk mystery plotting with biting humor and small-town intrigue, this installment showcases M. C. Beaton’s signature style—where charm, chaos, and crime collide in equal measure.
