What this book is about
The ninth Agatha Raisin mystery takes the sharp-tongued sleuth away from the Cotswolds to a Norfolk seaside village, where she has gone to visit a local woman said to have a cure for alopecia. When the 'witch' is murdered, Agatha is once again drawn irresistibly into the investigation. Beaton expertly moves Agatha out of her familiar setting while keeping her character consistent, and the seaside village provides fresh social comedy. A light and entertaining entry that shows Beaton's confidence with the formula she created.
