M.C. Beaton Cozy Mystery Challenge

 
Perpetual
 
 
Welcome to the M.C. Beaton Cozy Mystery Challenge hosted by Darlene's Book Nook!

I just finished the first book in the Agatha Raisin series, and I'm hooked! I decided to make a reading challenge out of M.C. Beaton's cozy mysteries!

This challenge will include both the Agatha Raisin series and the Hamish Macbeth series. Because there are so many books, I have decided to make this a Perpetual Reading Challenge, which means that there is no ending date! Take as much time as you need to finish both series!

The books in the Agatha Raisin series are:

1. Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death

2. Agatha Raisin and the Vicious Vet

3. Agatha Raisin and the Potted Gardener

4. Agatha Raisin and the Walkers of Dembley

5. Agatha Raisin and the Murderous Marriage

6. Agatha Raisin and the Terrible Tourist

7. Agatha Raisin and the Wellspring of Death

8. Agatha Raisin and the Wizard of Evesham

9. Agatha Raisin and the Witch of Wyckhadden

10. Agatha Raisin and the Fairies of Fryfam

11. Agatha Raisin and the Love from Hell

12. Agatha Raisin and the Day the Floods Came

13. Agatha Raisin and the Curious Curate

14. Agatha Raisin and the Haunted House

15. Agatha Raisin and the Deadly Dance

16. Agatha Raisin and the Perfect Paragon

17. Agatha Raisin and Love, Lies and Liquor

18. Agatha Raisin and Kissing Christmas Goodbye

19. Agatha Raisin and a Spoonful of Poison

20. Agatha Raisin: There Goes the Bride

21. Agatha Raisin and the Busy Body

22. Agatha Raisin: As The Pig Turns

23. Agatha Raisin: Hiss and Hers

And for the enthusiast: The Agatha Raisin Companion
