Horror's Greatest Hits
Linda
Linda asked M.C. Beaton:

Where do you get your ideas for the Agatha Raisin mysteries? I just love this series and hope that it will go on for many more books! I love everything about it but especially the Cotswolds setting, which I adore. Thank you for giving me many hours of pleasurable reading!

M.C. Beaton There are plots all around. One example. At the hairdressers, women shout the intimate details of their lives under the driers, so I thought that a good setting for a blackmailing hairdresser and up came The Wizard of Evesham.
