Book description
After six gruelling months spent in London, Agatha Raisin returns
to her beloved Cotswold village of Carsely - and to her attractive
neighbour, James Lacey. True, James is less than thrilled to see her,
but Agatha is soon consoled by a sensational murder.
The victim, found in a lonely field, is hiker Jessica Tartinck,
who spent her life enraging wealthy landowners by insisting on her
walking club's right to hike over their properties. And now she has
been found in a cornfield, battered over the head. Agatha lures the
reluctant James into helping with her informal investigation, and
there are so many leads to follow, for Jessica's fellow walkers seem
able, even willing, to commit murder.
And then there are the enraged landowners. Hope springs eternal
in Agatha's breast, and she feels confident that the trail of a
slippery killer may also be the road to love... or will it lead to
even more deaths?
