The Deadly Dance

SectionSection DescriptionPage Number
She's outclassed, outmatched, and outgunned...
Infuriated that her holiday was ruined by a mugging, Agatha Raisin decides to open up her own detective agency
The romance-minded sleuth is thrilled by visions of handsome fellow gumshoes and headline-making crimes--but soon finds the only cases she can get are a non-glamorous lot of lost cats and an errant teenager
But when a wealthy divorcée hires the agency to investigate a death threat against her daughter Cassandra, Agatha thwarts a vicious attack on the heiress bride
Now Agatha is in hot pursuit of the culprit
But when the groom's father turns up dead, Agatha must untangle a growing list of suspects, from Carsely's quiet village lanes to Paris' most fashionable streets
Soon the willfully undaunted Agatha is in trouble with French and British police; on the outs (again) with old friends--and dead in the sights of a murderer
"Anyone interested in...intelligent, amusing reading will want to make the acquaintance of   Mrs. Agatha Raisin." --Atlanta Journal Constitution "I simply love mysteries that have all the requirements necessary to make them great--the characters, the action, the plots, and that thing we call humanity
Beaton has them all in spades."
