When John Sunday, an officer with the Health and Safety Board, spoils the Costwolds holiday festivities by trumping up reasons to ban town decorations, Agatha Raisin is called on to investigate the officer's subsequent murder. - Baker & Taylor
When a Scrooge-like officer with the Health and Safety Board spoils the Costwolds holiday festivities by trumping up reasons to ban town decorations and May Dimwoody's hand-made toys, Agatha Raisin is called on to investigate the officer's subsequent murder. By the best-selling author ofThere Goes the Bride . Reprint. - McMillan Palgrave
Busy Body continues the tradition in M. C. Beaton's beloved Agatha Raisin mystery seriesânow a hit show on Acorn TV and public television.
Agatha Raisin has always been ambivalent about holiday cheer, but her cozy little village of Carsely has long prided itself on its Christmas festivities. But this year Mr. John Sunday, a self-important officer with the Health and Safety Board, has ruled that the traditional tree on top of the church is a public menace; that lampposts are unsafe for hanging illuminations; that May Dimwoody's homemade toys are dangerous for children⦠Things have reached such a desperate pass that the Carsely Ladies' Society joins forces with the ladies in the neighboring village of Odley Cruesis to try to put a stop to Mr. Sunday's meddlingâonly to find that someone has literally put a stop to him with a kitchen knife.
Agatha's detective agency is on the case, but when a man has made as many enemies as John Sunday, it's hard to know where to startâ¦
