Agatha Raisin and the Terrible Tourist
M. C. Beaton
Cold-blooded murder heats up Agatha’s summer holiday! Agatha travels to Cyprus, only to contend with her estranged fiance, an egregious group of truly terrible tourists, and a string of murders…In this sixth entertaining outing Agatha leaves the sleepy Cotswold village of Carsely to pursue love – and finds a murderer. Spurned at the altar, she follows her fleeing fiance James Lacey to Cyprus, where, instead of enjoying the honeymoon they’d planned, they witness the killing of an obnoxious tourist in a disco. Intrigue and a string of murders surround the unlikely couple, in a plot as scorching as the Cypriot sun! Praise for the Agatha Raisin series: ‘M. C. Beaton’s imperfect heroine is an absolute gem.’ Publishers Weekly ‘The detective novels of M. C. Beaton, a master of outrageous black comedy, have reached cult status.’ The Times “Anyone interested in a few hours” worth of intelligent, amusing reading will want to make the acquaintance of Mrs. Agatha Raisin.” The Cleveland Pain Dealer “M C Beaton has created a new national treasure…the stories zing along and are irresistible, unputdownable, a joy…Agatha Raisin is The Strongest Link.”Anne Robinson ‘Being a cranky, middle-aged female myself, I found Agatha charming!’ Amazon customer review ‘I dream of being able to speak out like Aggie …she’s a heroine!’ A. Lucas, Essex, reader review
