✦ Synopsis

Bossy,
impulsive, and unlucky in love, the all-too-human Agatha Raisin has
proved to be a surprisingly effective---and endearing---amateur sleuth.
But can Agatha make it as a private investigator? After getting mugged
on vacation, in what she will always think of as the Paris Incident, she
decides to find out.

Agatha soon learns that running her own
detective agency in the Cotswolds is not quite like starring in a
Raymond Chandler movie. Instead of dames in distress with big shoulder
pads, her clients are ladies with missing cats and a man whose son has
run off with his car. Agatha even worries that she might be outclassed
by her sixty-seven-year-old secretary, Emma Comfrey.
But then wealthy
divorcée Catherine Laggat-Brown walks in with their first
"real" case. Mrs. Laggat-Brown's daughter has received a death threat,
and when Agatha thwarts an attack on the girl at a dinner dance, she
recognizes an opportunity to show what Raisin Investigations can do.
Even better, the case gives her a chance to reunite with her long-absent
friend, Sir Charles Fraith. As they scour the Cotswolds in search of
leads, Charles' insights prove invaluable and his charms irresistible,
leading poor Emma to fall madly in love with him.

As ever, Agatha
bumbles her way through the case, trying her friends' patience and
flirting shamelessly with the chief suspect. Will she put her tiny
agency on the map, or has even the outrageous Agatha finally bitten off
more than she can chew?
