Description
Agatha Raisin and the Busy Body by M. C. Beaton is a cosy mystery that takes place in the idyllic village of Carsely, where traditional Christmas festivities are being disrupted by a new health and safety officer. The village is being told to make drastic changes, including removing wooden shelves and leaving lights on at night, in an effort to prevent accidents. However, the final straw comes when the officer rules that there cannot be a Christmas tree atop the church tower. As the village is thrown into chaos, Agatha Raisin is awoken by a scream during a meeting at the vicarage. The victim, the new health and safety officer, is found dead in the garden. Agatha is tasked with solving the murder, but with so many people having threatened the victim's life, it's a daunting task. This book is the 11th title in the Agatha Raisin series, a national treasure that has captivated readers with its blend of mystery, humour and charm.
