The Blood of an Englishman: An Agatha Raisin Mystery (Agatha Raisin Mysteries)

Fee fie fo fum I smell the blood of an Englishman Even though Agatha Raisin loathes amateur dramatics her friend Mrs Bloxby has persuaded her to support the local pantomime Stifling a yawn at the production of Babes in the Woods Agatha watches as the ogre played by Bert the towns baker struts and threatens on the stage-until a trapdoor opens and he disappears in an impressive puff of smoke But Bert never reappears at final curtain When it turns out that 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
