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... 901444 1992 The Quiche of Death (Agatha Raisin Mystery, Book 1) total:700|5:129|4:262|3:255|2:44|1:10| 700 2556 892 114 4 1 false false Mon Dec 08 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 09 13:36:26 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 09 13:50:22 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 true false Wed Nov 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 12:49:19 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 08:01:40 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 01 15:59:34 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 01 15:59:34 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Fri Aug 22 14:29:01 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 22 14:30:56 -0700 2008 Beaton, M.C. - 1st of Agatha Raisin series
