The Deadly Dance by M.C. Beaton
4.0
Agatha opens her own detective agency. At first she is disappointed in handling only small cases like missing cats. Then she gets an exciting case to investigate, an attempted murder. While investigating the case, a murder occurs that appears to be connected. Her detective agency gets so busy that she has to hire staff to help her--which causes some drama.
I do believe this mystery is the most intricate and complicated mystery that we have seen so far in this series. It was nice to have a more complicated mystery in the plot. There ends up being multiple plot lines going on, which kept my attention well and I never felt bored or confused. There are several new multidemensional characters that are introduced, but there are also the same local village friends that we have adored since the beginning of the series.
Agatha is still her cantancerous and ornery self. She is a flirt around all good looking men, which may end up getting her into trouble. Agatha is a character that I can not help but love because of her witty wisecracks.
I think this is the strongest book in the series so far, I guess because the mystery had more depth and the multiple plot lines. I do recommend reading the series in order because characters and info from previous books are mentioned.
