Séria detektívnych dobrodružstiev Agathy Raisinovej: 1. A Raisinová a otrávený koláč; 2. A.Raisinová a zlý veterinár; 3. A.Raisinová a mŕtvola v kvetináči

Bývalá londýnska podnikateľka Agatha je plná elánu – a to len od chvíle, čo sa do jej susedstva nasťahoval šarmantný päťdesiatnik James Lacey. Pán Lacey sa rozhodne pred Agathou skrývať, a tak sa pani Raisinová náramne poteší, keď do Cotswolds príde nový veterinár. Agathin kocúr sa znenazdajky ocitá na stole vo veterinárnej ambulancii, kam sa mu vôbec nechcelo. Hodge sa už ale ďalších nepríjemných vyšetrení báť nemusí – veterinára nájdu mŕtveho...

"The morning of Agatha's marriage to James Lacey dawns bright and clear. But her luck runs out in the church when Jimmy, the husband she had believed long dead, turns up large as life and twice as ugly. Agatha has a go at strangling him. It's all too much for James, who breaks off the engagement. So when Jimmy is found murdered the next day, Agatha and James are both suspects. And they'll have to work together in order to clear their names.

In this sixth delightful outing Agatha travels to the north of Cyprus, only to contend with her estranged fianc? an egregious group of truly terrible tourists, and a string of murders as scorching as the Greek sun.

Beloved New York Times bestseller M. C. Beaton's cranky, crafty Agatha Raisin—now the star of a hit T.V. show—is back on the case again in Hot to Trot. When Private Detective Agatha Raisin learns that her friend and one-time lover Charles Fraith is to be married to a mysterious socialite, Miss Mary Brown-Field, she sees it as her duty to find out what she can about the woman. Coming up empty, Agatha—out of selfless concern for Charles, of course—does the only sensible thing she can think of: she crashes their wedding, which ends in a public altercation. Nursing a hangover the next morning, she gets a phone call from Charles, with even more disturbing news: Mary has been murdered. Agatha takes on the case, and quickly becomes entrenched in the competitive equestrian world, in which Mary had been enmeshed—as well as the victim’s surprisingly violent past. Agatha finds no shortage of motives among a wide range of characters, from Mary's old riding competitors, to enemies from her schoolgirl days, to her surly father, who threatens Agatha to mind her own business. Meanwhile, the police department has its money on another suspect: Agatha. Will she track down the criminal in time, or end up behind bars herself?

"Agatha Raisin and The Quiche of Death": Agatha Raisin determines to make her mark by winning the local baking competition. When the judge is poisoned by her efforts, she investigates and uncovers a web of extra-marital sex and pastry-based favours. "Agatha Raisin and The Vicious Vet": A handsome vet is found stabbed with a syringeful of tranquiliser. Was it an accident or did someone put him to sleep? Agatha and James are determined to find out who killed the village vet - but they resort to barefaced lies, burglary and badger watching.

The second Hamish Mcbeth crime mystery, delightfully recovered and re-issued for all the fans of Agatha Raisin.
