Hot to Trot (Agatha Raisin #31) by M.C. Beaton — Full Audiobook | Cozy Mystery

Hot to Trot by M.C. Beaton — Book 31 of the Agatha Raisin cozy mystery series. Full audiobook. Sir Charles Fraith is marrying a woman nobody knows anything about. Agatha crashes the wedding. By morning, the bride is dead in the stables — and Agatha is a suspect. Private detective Agatha Raisin does not approve. Her friend and one-time lover Sir Charles Fraith is about to marry Mary Brown-Field, a socialite with a suspiciously blank past. Agatha investigates her — purely out of concern for Charles, obviously — and finds nothing at all, which only makes it worse. So she does the sensible thing and gate-crashes the wedding, where she and the new lady of the manor end up in an undignified shoving match in front of everyone. The next morning, hungover and unrepentant, Agatha takes a phone call from Charles. Mary has been found dead in the stables at his estate. Agatha and Charles are both under scrutiny — and the police rather like Agatha for it. Clearing her own name drags her into the vicious world of competitive equestrianism, where Mary had rivals, and further back into a past that turns out to have been far more violent than her spotless public face suggested. Mary's old riding competitors, enemies from her schooldays, and her surly father — who warns Agatha to mind her own business — all had reasons. Agatha, naturally, minds no one's business but everyone's. 🔖 Agatha Raisin series: #30 Beating About the Bush → #31 Hot to Trot → #32 Down the Hatch #AgathaRaisin #MCBeaton #CozyMystery #Audiobook #BritishMystery #Cotswolds
