Title :
Death of a Kingfisher (CD Audiobook)Author: Beaton M. C., Malcolm Graeme (NRT) Publisher: Audiogo When Scotland is hit by recession, Police Constable Hamish Macbeth notices that the Highland people are forced to come up with inventive ways to lure tourists to their sleepy towns. The quaint village of Braikie doesn't have much to offer, other than a place of rare beauty called Buchan's Wood, which was bequeathed to the town. A savvy local tourist director renames the woods "The Fairy Glen," and has brochures printed with a beautiful photograph of a kingfisher rising from a pond on the cover. It isn't long before coach tours begin to arrive. But just as the town's luck starts to turn, a kingfisher is found hanging from a branch in the woods with a noose around its neck. As a wave of vandalism threatens to ruin Braikie forever, the town turns to Hamish Macbeth. And when violence strikes again, the lawman's investigation quickly turns from animal cruelty to murder. € 27,70

Title :
Agatha Raisin e i Camminatori di DembleyAuthor: Beaton M. C. Publisher: Astoria Di ritorno da Londra, Agatha ritrova il suo amato villaggio di Carsely e soprattutto James, il suo fascinoso vicino, che tuttavia non sembra proprio in visibilio all'idea di riaverla lì. Come spesso succede, però, è un delitto a distrarla dalle faccende di cuore e stavolta si tratta di una cosa grossa, perché la morta è Jessica Tartinck, che era a capo dell'Associazione dei Camminatori di Dembley e aveva trascorso gli ultimi mesi cercando di trasformare dei pacifici passeggiatori della domenica in agguerriti sostenitori del diritto di passo nella campagna circostante. E mentre il cerchio degli indiziati, già piuttosto ampio, si allarga di giorno in giorno, Agatha cerca di escogitare un modo per coinvolgere James nelle indagini... € 15,00

Title :
Agatha Raisin e il matrimonio assassinoAuthor: Beaton M. C. Publisher: Astoria La mattina del matrimonio di Agatha Raisin con il suo affascinante vicino di casa, James Lacey, non potrebbe essere più limpida e splendente. Ma le nuvole si stanno ammassando e le prime gocce di pioggia - un imbarazzante sfogo provocato da una crema antirughe - si trasformano ben presto in un uragano: Jimmy Raisin, il primo marito di Agatha, le si para davanti poco prima della cerimonia e lei, che lo credeva morto da tempo, quasi lo strangola per l'ira e lo shock. Sconcertato, James manda tutto all'aria e Agatha affronta Jimmy, che, incredibilmente, ha pure modo di chiederle dei soldi prima di essere cacciato via. Riapparirà il giorno dopo, nei pressi di Carlsey, ma stavolta come vittima di un assassinio. Possibile che Agatha abbia definitivamente perso la testa? € 15,00

Title :
Death of a Chimney SweepAuthor: Beaton M. C. Publisher: Grand Central Pub In the south of Scotland, residents get their chimneys vacuum-cleaned. But in the isolated villages in the very north of Scotland, the villagers rely on the services of the itinerant sweep, Pete Ray, and his old-fashioned brushes. Pete is always able to find work in the Scottish highlands, until one day when Police Constable Hamish Macbeth notices blood dripping onto the floor of a villager's fireplace, and a dead body stuffed inside the chimney. The entire town of Lochdubh is certain Pete is the culprit, but Hamish doesn't believe that the affable chimney sweep is capable of committing murder. Then Pete's body is found on the Scottish moors, and the mystery deepens. Once again, it's up to Hamish to discover who's responsible for the dirty deed--and this time, the murderer may be closer than he realizes. € 7,10

Title :
As the Pig TurnsAuthor: Beaton M. C. Publisher: St Martins Pr An irresistible new adventure for the bossy, vain, and endearing Agatha Raisin, from New York Times bestselling M.C. Beaton, "the reigning queen of the cozies" (Booklist). Winter Parva is a “picturesque” (touristy) Cotswold village with gift shops, a medieval market hall, and thatched cottages. After a disappointing Christmas season, the parish council has decided to hold a special event in January, complete with old-fashioned costumes, morris dancing, and a pig roast on the village green. Always one for a good roasting, Agatha Raisin organizes an outing to enjoy the merriment. The rotary spit turning over a bed of blazing charcoals is sure to please on this foggy and blistery evening. But as the fog lifts slightly, the sharp-eyed Agatha notices something peculiar about the pig: a tattoo of a heart with an arrow through it and the name Amy. “Stop!” she screams suddenly. “Pigs don't have tattoos.” The “pig,” in fact, is Gary Beech, a policeman not exactly beloved by the locals, including Agatha herself. Although Agatha has every intention of leaving matters to the police, everything changes when the Gary's ex-wife, Amy, hires Agatha's detective agency to investigate—and another murder ensues. With that provocation, how could any sleuth as vain and competitive (and secretly insecure) as Agatha do anything other than solve the case herself? € 19,40

Title :
Busy BodyAuthor: Beaton M. C. Publisher: Minotaur Books Cranky yet lovable Agatha Raisin has always been ambivalent about holiday cheer, though her cozy village of Carsely has long prided itself on its Christmas festivities. Until now. This year, local Health and Safety Board officer John Sunday is threatening to undo some of Carsley's most time-honored traditions. The tree on top of the church? A public menace. The decorations hanging on the lampposts? Hazardous. Even May Dimwoody's homemade toys are deemed unsafe for the children. Bah humbug! The Carsely Ladies Society is in an uproar and will do anything to put a stop to this Scrooge—only to find that someone else has done it for them…with a kitchen knife. Soon Agatha's detective agency is on the case. But when a man has made as many enemies as Mr. John Sunday, it's hard to know where to start—or how to stop the killer from striking again. € 8,30

Death of a Greedy WomanAuthor: Beaton M. C.

But as eight hopeful members of the Checkmate Singles Club converge on Tommel Castle Hotel for a week of serious matchmaking, the clouds roll in. The four couples, carefully matched by dating director Maria Worth, immediately dislike each other. The arrival of Maria's gross, greedy partner, Peta, kills the last vestige of romance.

Surely not of those singles... € 7,10

Title :
El GrecoAuthor: Panagiotakes Nikolaos M., Davis John C. (TRN), Hadjinicolaou Nicos (INT), Beaton Roderick (EDT) Publisher: Ashgate Pub Co El Greco, called "The Greek" because he was living in Spain, learned painting on the island of Crete where he was born. Yet art historians have neglected El Greco's training, as well as the wealth of Italian paintings to be found on the island for him to study. Based on his exhaustive research into the archives on Crete, Panagiotakes bridges this gap through extensive writings that give a full picture of El Greco's life, artistic training, and works of art in both Latin and Greek Orthodox contexts that were available for him to study on Crete. John C. Davis has done a great service in translating Panagiotakes' writings into English. The volume includes color plates of some of the works discussed and a bibliography of works cited.
