And then the old lady is murdered - but for Agatha, solving a crime is much more fun than hunting a ghost! Very soon she's up to her usual tricks, involving the villagers, local police, and, of course, her handsome new neighbour...

From the Publisher:
THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT...
Agatha Raisin, snug and warm in her Carsely cottage, has that same old feeling -- boredom-until a report of a haunted house sends her and handsome new neighbor Paul Chatterton to investigate. Suddenly, middle-aged Agatha is aglow with romance and excitement.

But the glow fades fast. It turns out Paul is a cad. The victim of the haunting is a universally disliked old biddy. And the ghost is most likely someone playing a dirty trick. Then an old lady is soon found murdered. But never fear! For Agatha, solving a homicide is more fun than hunting a ghost. She quickly has a theory and a risky scheme. And she is about to make a startling discovery which can be her greatest triumph...or leave her heartbroken, in trouble with the police, and in danger of losing her reputation or her life.

"Fans of the Agatha Raisin mysteries will understand why they are so addictive, but first time readers of this series should note that once they are finished with this novel, [they'll] want to immediately obtain the complete backlist." -- The Midwest Book Review
"Agatha Raisin and the Haunted House has it all: ghosts, a handsome new neighbor, moonlight, and menace. After this witty fourteenth mystery, [Agatha] will become a real detective. Can't wait." -- Mystery Lovers Bookshop

M.C. Beaton: Agatha Raisin and the Haunted House (USA 2003)

From the Publisher:
JUST BACK FROM AN EXTENDED stay in London, Agatha Raisin finds herself greeted by torrential rains and an old, familiar feeling of boredom. When her handsome new neighbor, Paul Chatterton, shows up on her doorstep, she tries her best to ignore his obvious charms, but his sparkling black eyes and the promise of adventure soon lure her into another investigation.

Paul has heard rumors about Agatha's reputation as the Cotswold village sleuth and wastes no time offering their services to the crotchety owner of a haunted house. Whispers, footsteps, and a cold white mist are plaguing Mrs. Witherspoon, but the police have failed to come up with any leads, supernatural or otherwise. The neighbors think it's all a desperate ploy for attention, but Paul and Agatha are sure something more devious is going on. Someone's playing tricks on Mrs. Witherspoon, and when she turns up dead under suspicious circumstances, Agatha finds herself caught up in another baffling murder mystery.
