What this book is about
Agatha Raisin, a sharp-tongued PR executive who has taken early retirement to the seemingly idyllic Cotswolds village of Carsely, enters a quiche in the local baking competition. When the judge tastes it and dies, Agatha is mortified — not because she is suspected, but because she bought the quiche from a London delicatessen. Determined to clear her name and catch the real killer, she stumbles into the role of amateur detective. The first Agatha Raisin mystery launched one of cozy crime fiction's most beloved series.
