A vengeful ghost comes back to haunt the living?
Reports of a haunted house soon have Agatha snooping around, but it turns out the victim of the haunting is a universally disliked old biddy on whom someone is playing a practical joke. And then the old lady is murdered – but for Agatha, solving a crime is much more fun than hunting a ghost! Very soon she’s up to her usual tricks, involving the villagers, local police, and, of course, her handsome new neighbour . . .
Praise for the Agatha Raisin series:

‘Sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining, delightfully intolerant and oh so magnificently non-PC, M.C. Beaton has created a national treasure’ Anne Robinson
‘M.C. Beaton’s imperfect heroine is an absolute gem’ Publishers Weekly
‘The Miss Marple-like Raisin is a refreshing, sensible, wonderfully eccentric, thoroughly likeable heroine.’ Booklist

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