What this book is about
The seventh Agatha Raisin mystery finds the retired PR executive and amateur sleuth embroiled in a murder case connected to a contentious dispute over a local spring water company's plans to develop in the Cotswolds village of Carsely. When a body turns up in the wellspring, Agatha—eager as ever to prove herself—launches her own investigation alongside the police. Beaton's comic touch and sharp characterization keep the Cotswolds setting fresh, and Agatha's self-awareness about her own personality flaws gives the series its endearing quality.
