DELIGHTFUL ACCOLADES FOR
M. C. BEATON AND HER NOVELS
HASTY DEATH
“Once again Beaton has concocted an amusing brew of mystery and romance that will keep her fans turning the pages.”
—Publishers Weekly
“If you missed the first novel in this series, get it right away. Snobbery with Violence introduced the Edwardian heroine Lady Rose Summer. Her second appearance is, if anything, even wittier and more amusing than the debut.”
—The Globe and Mail
“If you are a fan of well-written traditional mysteries, Lord Peter, and Albert Campion, you might want to try this series.”
—Reviewing the Evidence
SNOBBERY WITH VIOLENCE
“Fans of the author’s Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth series should welcome this tale of aristocrats, house parties, servants, and murder.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Old hand Beaton…maintains her charm and sassiness while indicting evergreen pomposity and class-status stupidity.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Fans of the author’s Hamish Macbeth and Agatha Raisin mysteries, written under the name M. C. Beaton, will welcome this new series of historical whodunits.”
—Booklist
“Combines history, romance, and intrigue resulting in a delightful romantic mystery.”
—Midwest Book Review
“Light, amusing, easy to read, and thoroughly delightful.”
—The Tampa Tribune
…AND FOR M. C. BEATON’S AGATHA RAISIN SERIES
“Tourists are advised to watch their backs in the bucolic villages where M. C. Beaton sets her sly British mysteries.…Outsiders always spell trouble for the inbred societies Beaton observes with such cynical humor.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“[Beaton’s] imperfect heroine is an absolute gem!”
—Publishers Weekly
“Beaton’s Agatha Raisin series just about defines the British cozy.”
—Booklist
“Anyone interested in…intelligent, amusing reading will want to make the acquaintance of Mrs. Agatha Raisin.”
—Atlanta Journal-Constitution
“Beaton has a winner in the irrepressible, romance-hungry Agatha.”
—Chicago Sun-Times
“Few things in life are more satisfying than to discover a brand new Agatha Raisin mystery.”
—Tampa Tribune Times
“The Raisin series brings the cozy tradition back to life. God bless the Queen!”
—Tulsa World
“The Miss Marple–like Raisin is a refreshingly sensible, wonderfully eccentric, thoroughly likable heroine…a must for cozy fans.”
—Booklist
