Why read it?

1 author picked Death of a Spy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love Beaton's Hamish Macbeth series as well as her Agatha Raisin series. Both feature fun, original characters that I love spending time with as they tackle their problems and solve their mysteries.

M. C. Beaton passed away a few years ago, but before she passed she collaborated with and mentored R. W. Green who has taken over both series. He's done a great job. Whenever I run out of new reads, I often go back and reread some books in those series. Great reads, all of them.
