Everyone is to bring a $10 or less gift (something that is a favorite of theirs) for the annual choose/swap. Nancy will let us know if she needs any food..but I think bringing appetizers was suggested?
The indestructible Agatha Raisin, still at the top of her game in her darkly
droll 17th whodunit (after Love, Lies and Liquor), is feeling woefully
middle-aged after hiring Toni Gilmour, an endearing U.K.-style Nancy Drew full
of teen energy and charm. As Toni takes over the pet recovery end of the
sleuthing business, Agatha looks into a mysterious letter from Phyllis
Tamworthy, the rich matriarch of the Manor House in the idyllic Cotswolds, who
suspects family members of plotting to kill her before she can change her will
to disinherit them. Agatha and her friend Sir Charles Fraith attend Phyllis's
80th birthday party, only to see the lady keel over, poisoned by hemlock in her
salad. Digging into Phyllis's past yields an even darker mystery. Bestseller
Beaton's dry wit enhances Agatha's struggles with aging, men and her most
challenging case yet. (Oct.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
