A Recipe for Murder for a Real Slacker
Having built a brilliant career, Agatha Raisin decided – that's enough. So she sells her apartment in London and heads for an early retirement in the idyllic village of Carsely. But the quiet and peaceful rural life is not what Agatha is used to. And she is definitely eager to become the local star. And what could be better for that than a baking contest?
However, everything goes awry when Agatha not only loses spectacularly but also finds herself embroiled in the death of the judge, Mr. Cummings-Brown. It is after a piece of her quiche that he suddenly dies. When it turns out that the secret ingredient of the pie is poison, Agatha has to face an unpleasant truth… She has never baked anything in her life! In reality, Agatha just bought ready-made pastries.
Now she has a new plan: she will solve this crime and surely become everyone's favorite. Apparently, Agatha soon manages to pick up the trail of the killer because someone starts threatening her. It remains to be seen what will lead her to trouble first – the revealed deception or a curious nose?
