About this item

New York Times bestseller M. C. Beaton's beloved Agatha Raisin -- now the star of a hit show on Acorn TV and public television -- is back on the case and poking around where she doesn't belong.Agatha Raisin, private detective, resident in the Cotswold village of Carsely, should have been a contented and happy woman ... But in M.C. Beaton's Pushing Up Daisies, things are about to get a little less cozy. Lord Bellington, a wealthy land developer, wants to turn the community garden into a housing estate. And when Agatha and her friend Sir Charles Fraith attempt to convince Lord Bellington to abandon his plans, he scoffs, "Do you think I give a damn about what a lot of pesky villagers want?" So it's no surprise that some in the town are feeling celebratory when Agatha finds his obituary in the newspaper two weeks later.
