<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>Something Borrowed, Someone Dead </i>continues the tradition in M. C. Beaton's beloved Agatha Raisin cozy mystery series--now a hit show on Acorn TV and public television.</b> <p/>Gloria French was a jolly widow with dyed blonde hair, a raucous laugh and rosy cheeks. When she first moved from London to the charming Cotswolds hills, she was heartily welcomed. She seemed a do-gooder par excellence, raising funds for the church and caring for the elderly. But she had a nasty habit of borrowing things and not giving them back, just small things, a teapot here, a set of silverware there. So it's quite the shock when she is found dead, murdered by a poisoned bottle of elderberry wine. Afraid the murder will be a blight on the small town, Parish councillor, Jerry Tarrant, hires private detective Agatha Raisin to track down the murderer. <p/>But the village is secretive and the residents resent Agatha's investigation. Of course that doesn't stop the ever-persistent Agatha from investigating and sticking her nose where no one wants it--especially as the suspect list grows. And, as if it isn't enough that Agatha's ex has reentered the picture, the murderer is now targeting Agatha! <p/>With M.C. Beaton's <i>Something Borrowed, Someone Dead </i>the bossy, vain, and absolutely irresistible, Agatha Raisin continues to be a fan favorite.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"As always, M. C. Beaton presents us with an Agatha Raisin who manages to infuriate, amuse and solicit our deepest sympathies as we watch her blunder her way boldly through another murder mystery." --<i>Bookreporter.com on Hiss and Hers</i> <p/>"I know I once vowed to read only Agatha Christie for a year, but I've cheated. My No. 1 mistress: M.C. Beaton and her Agatha Raisin whodunits. Agatha is like Miss Marple with a drinking problem, pack-a-day habit, and major man lust." --<i>Entertainment Weekly on A Spoonful of Poison</i> <p/>"Few things in life are more satisfying than to discover a brand-new Agatha Raisin mystery." --<i>Tampa Tribune <p/></i><br>"The Agatha Raisin series is my guilty pleasure - it's full of perfectly pitched interest, intrigue, and charm." -- Lee Child</p><br>
