On more recent editions some GRs, the official long-distance hiking routes, are also marked (although not as clearly as on hiking maps from other publishers).

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.

Allotment wars! Lord Bellingham, Carsely`s biggest landholder, has enraged locals by saying he is going to sell off their allotments to make way for a new housing development. So when he turns up dead, poisoned by antifreeze, nobody mourns his passing. On another fine summer`s day Agatha visits Carsley`s allotments where everything looks peaceful & perfect: people of all ages digging in the soil & working very hard to grow their own fruit & veg. Agatha feels almost tempted to take on a strip herself.. .but common sense soon prevails. She doesn`t really like getting her hands dirty. She is introduced to three oldtimers who have just taken over a new strip; Harry Perry, Bunty Daventry & Josephine Merriweather are lamenting the neglected condition of the patch. But as Harry starts to shovel through the weeds & grass his spade comes across something hard so he bends down & tries to move the object. & then he starts to yell.. . The body is that of Peta Currie, a newcomer to the village

And then Lord Bellingham`s son engages Agatha to do some digging of her own & very soon Agatha is thrown into a world of petty feuds, jealousies & disputes over l&.

Beaton has created a national treasure` Anne Robinson `M.C. Beaton`s imperfect heroine is an absolute gem` Publishers Weekly ` The Miss Marple-like Raisin is a refreshing, sensible, wonderfully eccentric, thoroughly likeable heroine` Booklist
