About this book

"Devil's Delight" (2022, 256 pages) is the thirty-third Agatha Raisin mystery, falling between "Down the Hatch" and "Dead on Target" in the run R. W. Green has written since M. C. Beaton's 2019 death, with Beaton's name retained on the cover. It keeps Agatha's brash, sharp-tongued detective work -- and the village fetes and jealous rivalries around Carsely -- going at the same brisk pace Beaton established.

Agatha Raisin is a brash, hard-drinking, sharp-tongued former London PR executive who retires early to the impossibly quaint Cotswolds village of Carsely expecting a peaceful life — and instead finds a body practically on arrival. M. C. Beaton built the series around a heroine who is deliberately unlikeable in the traditional cozy sense: vain, competitive, prone to disastrous crushes (most enduringly on her handsome neighbor James Lacey), and far more comfortable interrogating suspects than making friends.
