n nThe Blood of an Englishman continues the tradition in M. C. Beatons beloved Agatha Raisin mystery series--now a hit show on Acorn TV and public television. n nFee, fie, fo, fum. I smell the blood of an Englishman... nEven though Agatha Raisin loathes amateur dramatics, her friend Mrs. Bloxby, the vicars wife, has persuaded her to support the local pantomime. Stifling a yawn at the production of Babes in the Woods, Agatha watches the baker playing an ogre strut and threaten on the stage, until a trapdoor opens and the Ogre disappears in an impressive puff of smoke. Only he doesnt re-appear at final curtain. n nSurely this isnt the way the scene was rehearsed? When it turns out the popular baker has been murdered, Agatha puts her team of private detectives on the case. They soon discover more feuds and temperamental behavior in amateur theatrics than in a professional stage show--and face more and more danger as the team gets too close to the killer. n nThe Blood of an Englishman is Agathas 25th adventure, and youd think she would have learned by now not to keep making the same mistakes. Alas, no--yet Agathas flaws only make her more endearing. In this sparkling new entry in M. C. Beatons New York Times bestselling series of modern cozies, Agatha Raisin once again manages to infuriate, amuse, and solicit our deepest sympathies as we watch her blunder her way boldly through another murder mystery (Bookreporter.com).n
