Agatha Raisin and the Dead Ringer (Agatha Raisin #29) by M.C. Beaton

“And there were no bell ringers more dedicated than Mavis and Millicent Dupin. They dressed alike in twinsets:  baggy tweed skirts and brogues.”

Bell ringers, it would appear, are a strange breed. Given that they're dragging heavy ropes up and down in rhythmic patterns and enduring loud noises, I imagine things might get a little strange. The impending visit of the rather good looking new bishop's visit sets the bellringers in a frenzy and when one turns up dead, you just now our delightful detective will be back on the case.
The bishop himself has a back story - a former fiancee went missing - could he be the killer? An increasing body count will have Agatha and her friends busy detecting and this reader happily ensconced in the outcome.

5 out of 5 - ding dong.
