Beating About the Bush

Agatha Raisin in Beating About the Bush

Agatha Raisin is about to find herself tangled in yet another mystery when she discovers a severed leg hidden in a roadside hedge. At first glance, it appears she has stumbled upon a particularly gruesome murder case.

But appearances can be deceiving.

Before long, Agatha is hired to investigate allegations of industrial espionage at a local factory where nothing is quite what it seems. What begins as a corporate inquiry soon spirals into a murder investigation filled with secrets, deception, and unexpected dangers.

As if that weren’t enough, a bad-tempered donkey unexpectedly turns Agatha into a national celebrity—only to leave her facing public embarrassment and ridicule.

Meanwhile, Agatha must confront her growing feelings for her longtime friend and occasional lover, Sir Charles Fraith. But romance takes a back seat when the factory case uncovers a deadly truth and places Agatha herself in grave danger.

With her personal life in turmoil and a killer closing in, Agatha must solve the mystery before she becomes the next victim.
