The Times highlighted the popularity of Beaton's detective novels, particularly the character of Private Detective Agatha Raisin.
In the latest installment of the series, "A High-Society Wedding, a Glitzy Masked Ball, and an Introduction to the World of International Show-Jumping," Agatha is drawn into a murder investigation when her friend Sir Charles Fraith is accused of the crime. As she delves deeper into the case, Agatha encounters a glamorous world of high society, where she attends a wedding, a masked ball, and learns about international show-jumping. Along the way, she encounters a long list of suspects, each with their own motives and secrets.
As the investigation progresses, Agatha uncovers sinister evidence that appears to seal Sir Charles's fate. She must race against time to uncover the truth before a web of skulduggery closes around him, threatening to take away his ancestral home, his entire estate, and his freedom.
