Agatha Raisin Mystery 14 - Beware the Ghosts: Who Shall Live Shall See! (French Edition)

Do you believe in ghosts? Mrs Witherspoon, an old harridan despised by her neighbors and her own children, complains of spectral visits. Whispers, footsteps, suspicious fog... her house would be haunted! The jokes are going strong in the village: lies or hallucinations? When the old lady dies under suspicious circumstances, no one is laughing anymore: is it a prank that has gone wrong or a settling of scores? Did Mrs. Whiterspoon have fierce enemies? What dangerous secrets does her home hide?

Agatha Raisin is no longer of an age to play at ghosts, but rather to track down murderers. With the help of her neighbor, the charming Paul Chatterton, she intends to unmask these "ghosts" who have already done far too much harm.

With over 800,000 copies sold, Agatha Raisin, the very spirited heiress of Miss Marple's rock version, has imposed her zany and irresistible personality. Would you like a little Worcestershire sauce in your tea?

"It's as if Agatha Christie's famous detective had grown younger, adopted cougar habits, a caustic sense of humor, and eaten mad cow disease. We're in England... It's a treat." Le Point

Agatha Raisin, the quirky and endearing amateur sleuth, is called upon to investigate a haunting at the home of the late Mrs. Witherspoon, a woman despised by her neighbors and children. Rumors of ghostly visits, strange noises, and mysterious fog swirl around the woman's supposedly haunted house, leading to much village gossip and speculation.

When Mrs. Witherspoon dies under suspicious circumstances, the laughter dies down as Agatha and her neighbor, the charming Paul Chatterton, set out to uncover the truth. Did the old woman have dangerous enemies, and what dark secrets might her home be hiding? Agatha, no longer content to simply play at solving ghost stories, is determined to track down the real-life murderer.

With over 800,000 copies sold, the Agatha Raisin series has captured readers' hearts with its quirky heroine, who has been likened to a younger, more irreverent version of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. Agatha's zany personality and caustic sense of humor have made her an irresistible character, one who is unafraid to dive headfirst into a mystery, even if it means confronting her own fears or biases.

As Agatha and Paul investigate the suspicious death and alleged haunting, the reader is taken on a delightful romp through the English countryside, complete with the type of dry wit and clever plotting that has become a hallmark of the series. The comparison to enjoying a cup of tea with a dash of Worcestershire sauce is a apt one - the Agatha Raisin books offer a satisfying blend of traditional mystery elements with a modern, unconventional flair.
