Something Borrowed Someone Dead by M.C. Beaton

M.C. Beaton writes humorous mystery series.  This book is one of the Agatha Raisin series.  Agatha Raisin is a middle-aged private detective in the Cotswolds.  In this book, she is hired to solve a murder in a small village.  The villagers seem to have closed ranks and are not answering questions.  They won't answer questions and seem to be convinced it was an outsider when that makes no sense.  Agatha is too determined to give up and continues to search for the killer.  She succeeds in the end, of course, although the killer isn't exactly straightforward, and the ending seems strange.

This book is clean.  Of course it's a murder mystery, so it has talk of that violence.  There is also discussion of affairs.

This book is worth the time, but the Hamish Macbeth series is the better choice of Beaton's books.
