M. C. Beaton’s annoying yet loveable crime solver, Agatha Raisin, is back in action. Although her bearlike eyes are in good working order, her good legs are recovering from hip replacement surgery. This time around, a local official, who has put the kibosh on excessive holiday displays, is murdered outside a glass door at a community meeting with the whole town watching. Naturally, as always in this series, Agatha and her team are able to solve the murder while the police, including Agatha’s friend Bill Wong, stand helplessly by. Agatha entertains romantic ideas about three assorted gentlemen, which is a new record for her, I think. Set in the Cotswolds of England, this is an relaxing page turner with a winter holiday theme.--Barb P.
