Review from
David Marshall James: "Pushing Up Daisies" by M.C. Beaton
Agatha Raisin's tumbler
of gin and tonic overfloweth in this, her 26th mystery novel, but the humor's
dry and there's plenty of it.
The Mircester
(fictional), England, private-detective-agency owner may be luckless in the
romance department, but business is booming and bustling, and she's as keen as
ever when it comes to crime solving.
Author M.C. Beaton's
subplots and side turns are always as abundant as November drizzle in Russell
Square, yet Aggie's principal case here involves the murder (antifreeze in the
creme de menthe) of a repugnant local lord of the manor.
As he was/is universally
loathed, Aggie's list of suspects runs longer than the Mircester telephone
directory. She's hired on by the late lord's son, the prime contender,
who's desirous of deflecting the suspicion elsewhere.
Aggie's also looking, gratis,
into the murder of an attractive newcomer who's been espied in clenches with
another newcomer, a retired Scotland Yard detective.
That fellow has hormones
flowing like Aggie's aforementioned gin-and-tonic's in the Cotswold village
where she resides.
La Raisin has even
witnessed her BFF, Mrs. Bloxby-- the village vicar's wife at
that-- in a Nellie Forbush-ian "conventional
dither." Mrs. B starts tarting herself up to juice the newcomer's
appetite, but who needs rouge when you're blushing like a nun in a nudist camp?
Beaton's Agatha Raisin
books never fail to entertain-- and jolly well at that-- and this latest proves
a particularly pithy pip. She has even become the main character on a
British television series. It may not take the place of romance, but
she's still gotta love that.
