Una nueva entrega de la serie sobre Agatha Raisin, la heroína más aclamada del cosy crime. Más de diez millones de lectores en todo el mundo Después de que una peluquera vengativa le aplicara crema depilatoria en lugar de champu, y siempre aquejada de mal de amores, Agatha Raisin decide pasar una temporada lejos de su idilico hogar de Carsely y refugiarse en el exclusivo y algo lugubre Garden Hotel de la localidad costera de Wyckhadden. Pero lo que comienza como un retiro espiritual se convierte muy pronto en un autentico suplicio para la pobre Agatha, que tiene que lidiar con gente de la tercera edad que no cesa de inmiscuirse en sus penurias capilares. Desesperada por recuperar su cabello cuanto antes, nuestra heroina decide seguir el consejo de una huesped del hotel y acude a la casita de Francie Juddle, una bruja local especializada en pociones magicas, en busca de un tonico milagroso. Por desgracia, lejos de mejorar, todo acaba de torcerse cuando Francie es asesinada con un fuerte golpe en la cabeza y Agatha, la ultima persona en verla con vida, se convierte en la principal sospechosa. ¿Quien puede haber cometido un crimen tan atroz? A medida que profundiza en su investigacion, Agatha Raisin descubre profundas ansias de venganza y secretos inconfesables entre el extraño grupo de ancianos con el que, muy a su pesar, comparte interminables partidas de Scrabble y bailes de salon.La critica ha dicho:La saga de Agatha Raisin es mi placer inconfesable: es sumamente interesante, intrigante y encantadora, y ademas tiene el tono perfecto.Lee Child Agatha Raisin es una miss Marple moderna.Entertainment Weekly Una serie denovelas policiacas ideales para leer en la cama, con tanto o mas placer que las de Agatha Christie.Telegraph on Sunday Beaton capta a la perfeccion el ambiente de la vida en un tranquilo y pintoresco pueblo ingles.Booklist No sorprende que la autora haya sido coronada como la reina del cosy crime.Mail on SundayBeaton tiene una ganadora en la incontenible Agatha, avida de aventuras amorosas.Chicago Sun-Times

*Special hardback edition with foil cover*The first-ever UK hardback publication of the cult horror classic, featuring a special embossed maze case design and full-colour text. Get ready to (re)discover the terrifying, thrilling, and mind-expanding immersive classic horror that redefines the boundaries of a novel . . .A young couple - Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson and his partner Karen Green - move into a small house on Ash Tree Lane.It soon becomes clear that something is terribly wrong - their new home is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside . . .Neither Will nor Karen are prepared to face the consequences of this impossibility until the day their two small children wander off, and their voices eerily begin to tell another story - of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams and create nightmares.What happened next is loosely recorded on videotapes and in interviews, and impelled an eccentric old man to compile - on loose sheets of paper, stained napkins, crammed notebooks - a definitive account of what took place at Ash Tree Lane that seems to unveil a thrilling and terrifying history.Because these scraps prove to be far more than the deranged ramblings of a reclusive old man . . .Immensely imaginative. Impossible to put down. Impossible to forget. House of Leaves is thrilling, terrifying and unlike anything you have read before.
