A lively and humorous cozy mystery full of charm, wit, and a touch of mischief — another delightful romp with Agatha Raisin, Britain’s most endearingly cranky sleuth.
 
When Agatha Raisin attends the wedding of her ex-husband James Lacey, she plans to keep her composure — until the bride is found dead before the ceremony even begins. Suddenly, Agatha’s jealousy takes a backseat to curiosity as she becomes the prime suspect. With her trademark determination and a team of quirky friends, Agatha sets out to clear her name and find the real killer in this spirited addition to the beloved series.
 
In Hot to Trot, the late M.C. Beaton — with longtime collaborator R.W. Green — delivers another fast-paced and delightfully funny installment in the Agatha Raisin Mystery series. When a glamorous equestrian is found dead, suspicion lands squarely on Agatha, who was last seen in a very public quarrel with the victim. Refusing to take the blame, she plunges headfirst into the investigation, unraveling a web of scandal, gossip, and hidden motives in England’s horse-riding elite.
Full of sharp humor, eccentric characters, and the irresistible charm that has made Agatha a cozy icon, Hot to Trot is a perfect escape for readers who enjoy their mysteries with a splash of romance and a good laugh.
