Agatha Raisin Pushing Up Daisies by M C Beaton
Lord Bellington, Carsley’s biggest landholder, has enraged locals with his plans to sell off their allotments to make way for a new housing development. So when he turns up dead, nobody mourns his passing.
On another fine summer’s day, Agatha visits Carsley’s allotments where she is introduced to three old-timers who have just taken over a new strip: Harry Perry, Bunty Davenport and Josephine Merriweather, who are lamenting the neglected condition of the patch. But as Harry starts to shovel, his spade comes across something hard …
The body is that of Peta Currie, a newcomer to the village – but who would want to murder her? Blonde and beautiful, she’s everyone’s favourite. And then Lord Bellington’s son engages Agatha to do some digging of her own, throwing Agatha into a world of petty feuds, jealousies and disputes over land. It would seem that far from being tiny gardens of Eden, Carsley’s allotments are local battlefields where passions – and the bodycount – run high!
