Agatha Raisin and the Case of the Curious Curate
Agatha Raisin and the Case of the Curious Curate | M. C. Beaton
4 posts | 22 read | 4 to read
Wretched after being dumped by her husband, bored with pottering about Carsely, and wishing every man would sod off, including her neighbor John Armitage, Agatha Raisin is unmoved by news of the captivating new curate. But when she meets the golden-haired, blue-eyed Tristan Delon, she is swept off her feet...along with nearly every other female in the village. Wrapped in brightly coloured dreams of the curate (never mind that he's a tad odd), Agatha is as ecstatic as a girl when he invites her to dine. But his cold body is found the next day, and Carsely is whisked from time-warp monotony to a hotbed of murder and intrigue-and a clear-headed Agatha Raisin is back on track, this time with John. As the corpses multiply, ever-obstinate Agatha trails clues from Lilac Lane to London, unmindful that someone wicked is arranging that Mrs. Raisin's cats never again hear their mistress' footfall on the path... Agatha Raisin and the Case of the Curious Curate is the thirteenth book in this bestselling series by veteran mystery author M.C. Beaton.

Another fun story in the series! When the new curate seems a bit more popular than the vicar, and then winds up dead, Agatha has to clear the name of Mrs Bloxby and her vicar husband. Lies and deception play a special role, and Agatha also learns a bit about her neighbors and herself.

This one reminded me of another Agatha story, The Vicious Vet!

Even the people that appear to be most angelic can turn out to have a dark side, and that is made apparent in this story.
Fantastic read! Very gripping. Also my favourite Agatha Raisin book cover out of the collection!
