Synopsis Author

One cannot live of dignity alone!

The poor relations banded together some time ago to run The Poor Relation Hotel in the hope their embarrassed relatives would buy them out, but as the hotel prospered, so they began to enjoy the fruit of their labour.

But once again they need money to go on and so poor, faded Miss Tonks is dispatched to her rich sister to steal something valuable from her in order to keep the hotel on its feet. All the other poor relations have their doubts about Miss Tonks' chances for success, but the shy spinster as more than a few surprises up her sleeve!

After working for several years as a journalist, she moved to the United States and began writing regency romances. After penning more than a hundred, she decided to turn her hand to detective fiction, writing under the name M.C. Beaton and wrote the first of her popular Hamish Macbeth series before – in the early nineties – starting her best-known series Agatha Raisin about a retired advertising executive with a talent for solving crime.
