Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

M.C. Beaton (1936-2019) was the author of both the Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth series, as well as numerous Regency romances. Her books have been translated into seventeen languages and have sold more than twenty-two million copies worldwide. She is consistently the most borrowed UK adult author in British libraries, and her Agatha Raisin books have been turned into a TV series on Sky.

M.C. Beaton's legacy continues as her good friend and fellow author R. W. Green has taken on the mantle of writing more crime novels featuring her two most beloved creations, Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

He’s behind you, Agatha!

Even though Agatha Raisin detests Christmas panto, her friend Mrs Bloxby, the vicar’s wife, has persuaded her to support the local amateur dramatic society in their festive offering. Stifling a yawn at the production of Babes in the Wood, Agatha watches the local baker, playing the ogre, strut and threaten on stage until a trapdoor opens . . . followed by a scream and silence!

Surely this wasn’t the way the scene was rehearsed? And when it turns out the baker has been murdered most horribly, Agatha puts her team of detectives on the case. They very soon discover more feuds and temperamental behaviour in amateur dramatics than in a professional stage show – and face more danger as they get too close to the killer . . .

Praise for M.C. Beaton

‘I’m not sure I wouldn’t back Agatha against Jack Reacher in a fight. She has the ruthlessness. The cunning. And the poisoned quiche.’ Daily Telegraph

‘Agatha is like Miss Marple with a drinking problem, a pack-a-day habit and major man lust. In fact, I think she could be living my dream life.’ Entertainment Weekly

‘The detective novels of M. C. Beaton, a master of outrageous black comedy, have reached cult status.’ Anne Robinson, The Times
