Deadly Dance

M. C. Beaton. Minotaur Books, $22.95 (240pp) ISBN 978-0-312-30436-2

Now ensconced in the Cotswolds village of Carsely, wealthy middle-aged amateur sleuth Agatha Raisin discovers that opening a detective agency isn't as easy as it seems in M.C. Beaton's The Deadly Dance: An Agatha Raisin Mystery, the improbably plotted 15th installment in this English cozy series. Whether deliberate, accidental or unspoken, miscommunication rules-an insistent theme that won't deter Beaton fans but is unlikely to win new readers. Agent, Barbara Lowenstein. .
