There's an amorous spinster, two tarty girls, a retired military man, a secretive London family, and Bob Harris, who so nags his wife, Doris, that everyone wants to kill him. Then somebody does. Soon Macbeth is called upon to act -- to dig into the past and deep into the heart to deliver something more daunting than merely the culprit: Justice. € 7,10	Title : Death of Yesterday Author: Beaton M.

Unfortunately, even a pretend engagement cannot save Rose from trouble.

After his success in uncovering Geoffrey's dishonorable motives, Harry fashions a career out of "fixing" things for wealthy aristocrats. So when the Marquess of Hedley finds one of his guests dead at a lavish house party, he knows just the man to call. But when Harry is caught between his client's desire for discretion and his suspicion that murder may indeed have been committed, he enlists the help of Superintendent Kerridge of the Scotland Yard and Lady Rose, also a guest at Lord Hedley's.

Title : Hasty Death Author: Beaton M. C. Publisher: Minotaur Books Eager to join the working classes, Lady Rose Summer has abandoned the comforts of her parents' home to become self-supporting.

Luckily for Rose, her drudgery comes to a merciful end when she learns of the untimely death of an acquaintance. Freddy Pomfret, a silly and vacuous young man, was almost certainly up to no good before he was shot dead in his London flat. When Rose discovers incriminating evidence pointing to several members of her class, she returns to London high society in order to investigate properly. With the help of Captain Harry Cathcart and Superintendent Kerridge of Scotland Yard, Rose prepares to do the social rounds—uncovering a devious blackmail plot and an unexpected killer. Set in Britain during the Edwardian world of parties, servants, and scandal, M. C. Beaton's Hasty Death is a delightful combination of murderous intrigue and high society. € 16,10

Title : Agatha Raisin e la turista terribile Author: Beaton M. C. Publisher: Astoria Devastata dal fallito matrimonio con James, Agatha davvero non sa più cosa fare. E, come spesso le succede, decide per il peggio. Segue James a Cipro, dove il marito mancato è andato per cercare di riprendersi dalla vergogna e dallo smacco subito. Arrivata in albergo e non trovando James, Agatha si concede una gita in barca e lì conosce un gruppo mal assortito di turisti inglesi. "Tre, due uomini e una donna, erano tipici esponenti delle classi alte, con abiti costosi e voci raglianti. Appartenevano a quello strato sociale che ha adottato tutti i modi peggiori dell'aristocrazia, e nessuno di quelli migliori." In modo assolutamente incomprensibile, il gruppetto fa amicizia con un altro trio, due uomini e una donna, che sono l'esatto opposto. Provenienti dalle classi popolari, si sono arricchiti durante gli anni della Thatcher, e potrebbero comprarsi in un boccone il trio che li guardava con tanto disprezzo. Agatha segue con un certo stupore l'evolversi dei rapporti tra questi personaggi così diversi tra loro e, non trovando James, li frequenta per un po'. Fino a quando una del gruppo non viene assassinata... € 15,00 Scontato: € 14,25	Title : Agatha Raisin e la sorgente della morte Author: Beaton M. C. Publisher: Astoria Placido è l'aggettivo che definisce alla perfezione il villaggio di Ancombe che, tra le altre amenità, vanta anche una sorgente di acqua minerale. Ma la pace sta per finire: l'Azienda dell'acqua di Ancombe, appena fondata, sta cercando di farsi dare dal consiglio comunale l'autorizzazione ad attingere quotidianamente alla sorgente, pagando l'acqua un penny al gallone. E il paese si divide: da un lato, i fautori del progresso; dall'altro, i difensori dello status quo. In mezzo, c'è Agatha Raisin, che cura le pubbliche relazioni dell'Azienda e giudica il tutto semplicemente noiosissimo. Almeno finché non scopre il cadavere di Robert Struthers, il presidente del consiglio comunale. Possibile che qualcuno del villaggio sia così esacerbato da commettere un omicidio? E con quale movente, poi? Per qualche gallone di acqua in più (o in meno)? € 16,00	Title : Il mago di Evesham. Agatha Raisin Author: Beaton M. C. Publisher: Astoria Anche per Agatha è arrivato il momento da tante temuto: sono spuntati i primi capelli grigi. Dopo aver provato a risolvere il problema in modo casalingo, sbucando dal bagno con i capelli sfumati di un atroce color viola, Agatha decide di provare quello che le signore locali definiscono il "mago", e cioè John, il parrucchiere di Evesham. L'uomo oltre a essere bravo è anche di gran fascino, e Agatha si abbandona, come solo lei sa fare, a qualche sogno a occhi aperti: lei nelle braccia del Mago, James che la vede e finalmente capisce... Torna quindi con una certa frequenza a Evesham, anche perché mai era stata così ben pettinata, ma prima che qualcosa si possa realizzare, il parrucchiere, durante una messa in piega, cade a terra e muore, avvelenato. I sogni d'amore di Agatha nuovamente s'infrangono. Chi sarà il colpevole? € 16,00 Scontato: € 15,20

Fortunately, he has a few clever tricks up his own sleeve, which enable this most endearing of crime fighters to get the best, and last, laugh. € 7,10
