Join the North
Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday December 3, 2019. We will be
discussing, Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death by M. C. Beaton. This
is the first book in the Agatha Raisin series, which has been filmed for
television under the title “Agatha Raisin”.
The synopsis from
the author’s website is “Putting all her eggs in one basket, Agatha Raisin
gives up her successful PR firm, sells her London flat, and samples a taste of
early retirement in the quiet village of Carsely. Bored, lonely and used to
getting her way, she enters a local baking contest: Surely, a blue ribbon for
the best quiche will make her the toast of the town. But her recipe for social
advancement sours when Judge Cummings-Browne not only snubs her entry—but falls
over dead! After her quiche’s secret ingredient turns out to be poison, she
must reveal the unsavory truth… Agatha has never
baked a thing in her life! In fact, she bought her entry ready-made from an
upper crust London quicherie. Grating on the nerves of several Carsely
residents, she is soon receiving sinister notes. Has her cheating and meddling
landed her in hot water, or are the threats related to the suspicious death? It
may mean the difference between egg on her face and a coroner’s tag on her
toe…”
We will be meeting
in the Second Floor Meeting Room at 7:00 pm.
