Beating About the Bush (Agatha Raisin #30) by M.C. Beaton

“Agatha stole a glance towards Toni. She really was a very pretty young thing, she mused. Blonde hair, blue eyes and a trim figure.”

As usual, Agatha is jealous of Toni but she is about to make the acquaintance of a rather interesting donkey. You heard me correctly. Agatha and the donkey will make national news and of course there's a rather meaty mystery involving a factory involved also.
My feelings for Sir Charles Fraith ebbed and flowed just as much as Agatha's in this one.
A severed leg, an ornery donkey and a battery factory that might just be up to something dodgy, sounds like just the kind of setting for murder, mayhem and reading till the wee hours.
Unfortunately I finished this way too quickly and now I have to wait until the next story is released which is later this year. M.C.Beaton is a legend and I love her creation.

 5 out of 5 legs in a bush are always a surprise.
