As the Pig Turns
MC Beaton
At the
annual pig roast in the Cotswold town of Winter Parva, a body is
discovered, roasting on the spit, no less. As there is no head
attached, it's hard to tell who it could be. Agatha Raisin suspects
it might belong to a local policeman, Gary Beech. Officer Beech is
despised by the village because of his ability to find endless
reasons for handing out tickets. So there is no lack of suspects. The
only person interested is Gary's ex-wife and she hires Agatha and her
team to investigate.

Beaton has once again provided the reader with an entertaining
“whodunit”. Agatha is her usual “bossy” self. In fact, in
this novel she's been interfering too much into the personal life of
Toni, a younger female member of staff. Which leads to conflict and
the possible loss of a valuable member of the team. But Agatha is
strong willed. Even though this case has her more frightened than
usual she is determined to see it though.
