Hot Gossip for the True Lazybones

A witty, warm, and quaintly charming cozy mystery for readers who enjoy Peter Baland, Kristen Perrin, Richard Osman—and, of course, Agatha Christie.

Meet the New York Times bestselling series by M. S. Biton about Agatha Raisin—an audacious businesswoman who traded the hustle of London for a rural idyll, and, along with it, unexpected murder investigations.

A popular TV series, "Agatha Raisin," has been made based on the books.

The sequel to the novel "Murder Recipe for a Lazybones".

Even the calmest English village can turn you into a participant in an investigation—and a person who accidentally gets in the way of the killer.

After returning from the Bahamas following an unsuccessful attempt to charm the attractive neighbor, James Lacey, Agatha decides to switch to a new veterinarian. Local ladies are already gathering around him, but this handsome man has his drawbacks: he can’t stand cats and dogs—and he’s an incorrigible ladies’ man. Before long, he’s found dead, and it seems one of these traits played a fatal role.

Just when Agatha is almost pleased that this unpleasant type will no longer spoil her life, she finds herself drawn into another case. The police lean toward the theory of an accident, but James is sure it was murder. Agatha doesn’t miss the chance to spend time with him and persuades him to examine the scene together. But, as usual, lessons don’t stick to her: their clumsy search for the truth quickly leads to a new—and far too suspicious—death. It’s time for Agatha to take the case seriously and track down the murderer hiding somewhere nearby, among the neighbors.
