Reviews"As always, M. C. Beaton presents us with an Agatha Raisin who manages to infuriate, amuse and solicit our deepest sympathies as we watch her blunder her way boldly through another murder mystery." -- Bookreporter.com on Hiss and Hers "I know I once vowed to read only Agatha Christie for a year, but I've cheated. My No. 1 mistress: M.C. Beaton and her Agatha Raisin whodunits. Agatha is like Miss Marple with a drinking problem, pack-a-day habit, and major man lust." -- Entertainment Weekly on A Spoonful of Poison "Few things in life are more satisfying than to discover a brand-new Agatha Raisin mystery." -- Tampa Tribune "Once you meet Agatha Raisin, you'll keep coming back." -- New York Journal of Books on As the Pig Turns "Beaton has a winner in the irrepressible, romance-hungry Agatha." -- Chicago Sun-Times "M. C. Beaton has a foolproof plot for the village mystery." -- The New York Times Book Review "Beaton's Agatha Raisin series just about defines the British cozy." -- Booklist "Anyone interested in intelligent, amusing reading will want to make the acquaintance of Mrs. Agatha Raisin." -- Atlanta Journal Constitution

SynopsisAgatha Raisin and the Terrible Tourist continues the tradition in M. C. Beaton's beloved Agatha Raisin mystery series--now a hit show on Acorn TV and public television. Agatha Raisin's marriage was put off when her ex-husband showed up, unfortunately alive. Fortunately, he was murdered and Agatha solved the crime. Now she is off to Cyprus to track down her ex-fiance. Instead of enjoying their planned honeymoon, however, they witness the murder of an obnoxious tourist. Two sets of terrible tourists surround the unhappy couple, arousing Agatha's suspicions. And, much to James' chagrin, she won't rest until she finds the killer. Unfortunately, it seems the killer also won't rest until Agatha is out of the picture. Agatha is forced to track down the murderer, try to rekindle her romance with James, and fend off a suave baronet, all while coping with the fact that it's always bathing suit season in Cyprus., Agatha Raisin and the Terrible Tourist continues the tradition in M.
