Agatha Raisin and the Fairies of Fryfam

Feeling jilted and cross, Agatha follows a fortune-teller’s advice and rents a cottage in the pretty village of Fryfam, where she hopes good fortune and true love will come chasing after her for a change. Unfortunately, her romantic notions are soon dispelled by the strange goings-on in the village. What exactly are those strange lights in Agatha’s back garden? Who is stealing paintings and pottery? Where are her beloved cats? And who murdered the local squire…Agatha’s nose for trouble leads her into a maelstrom of jealousy, blackmail and dangerous liaisons – and a murderer who plans to keep irrepressible Agatha permanently in Fryfam – as a resident corpse!

Reviews of Agatha Raisin and the Fairies of Fryfam

"'Agatha Raisin is sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining, delightfully intolerant and oh so magnificently non PC. M C Beaton has created a new national treasure… the stories zing along and are irresistible, unputdownable, a joy. If you buy one book a year, let it be this. Agatha Raisin is The Strongest Link.' – Anne Robinson 'Beaton's dry sense of humour and her unflattering but affectionate portrait of gruff, often adolescent acting Agatha make this… tale a bloom worth picking.' – Publishers Weekly"
