Synopses

Quiche of Death

Agatha Raisin steps away from her high-flying public relations career and heads for early retirement in a picture-perfect Cotswold village. Keen to settle in and make friends, she enters the local quiche-making competition, even taking a discreet trip to a London deli to improve her chances.

Sugar and Spite

A lecture on birdwatching at the Carsely Ladies' Society promises little excitement, at least at first. The mood shifts sharply when an angry interloper storms the stage and threatens three devoted bird enthusiasts.

Spoonful of Poison

With her detective agency thriving, Agatha decides she deserves a break, only to find idleness doesn’t suit her. When a local vicar asks for help publicising a church fete, she is soon drawn in, not least because the organiser, George Selby, is a handsome widower.

Dead Ringer

In the idyllic village of Thirk Magna, the bells of St Ethelred church are a source of pride. At the heart of the ringing team are the dedicated twins Mavis and Millicent Dupin.

Dead on Target

A trip to the village fete for a little light relief turns dark when Agatha discovers the local landowner’s body in the woods. He has an arrow in his chest, and the scene is as shocking as it is unsettling.

Beating About the Bush

Agatha’s work takes a gruesome turn when she finds a severed leg in a roadside hedge. Yet appearances mislead, and she is soon hired to investigate industrial espionage at a factory where nothing is quite what it seems.

Devil's Delight

On the way to Bill Wong’s wedding, Agatha and her assistant Toni expect to be thinking about little more than the bride’s dress. Instead, they encounter a terrified young man running down a country lane wearing nothing at all.

Hot to Trot

Agatha is pulled into the glittering world of the fabulously wealthy when Sir Charles Fraith is accused of murder. Matters worsen when Agatha herself is named as his accomplice.

Killing Time

Agatha’s agency is stretched by a series of burglaries that take a violent turn when a friend is murdered during a raid on his antiques shop. While she is determined to catch those responsible, she also helps Sir Charles Fraith prepare a massive, hugely glamorous event at Barfield House.
