New York Times bestselling author M. C. Beatons beloved Agatha Raisin is back on a case and poking around where she doesnt belong.
When Agatha Raisin left behind her public-relations business in London, she fulfilled her dream of settling in the cozy British Cotswolds where she began a successful private detective agency. Unfortunately, the village she lives in is about to get a little less cozy. Lord Bellington, a wealthy land developer, wants to turn the community garden into a housing estate. When Agatha and her friend Sir Charles Fraith attempt to convince Lord Bellington to abandon his plans, he scoffs, Do you think I give a damn about those pesky villagers? So when Agatha finds his obituary in the newspaper two weeks later, its no surprise that some people in town are feeling celebratory.
The villagers are relieved to learn that Bellingtons son and heir, Damian, has no interest in continuing his fathers development plans. But the police are definitely interested in himas suspect number one. His fathers death, it seems, was no accident. But when Damian hires Agatha to find the real killer, she finds no shortage of suspects.
The good news is that a handsome, retired detective named Gerald has recently moved to town. Too bad he was seen kissing another newcomer. But when that woman is also found murdered, Gerald is eager to help Agatha with the case. Agatha, Gerald, and her team of detectives must untangle a web of contempt in order to uncover a killers identity.
