They strain to see the road ahead-and then suddenly brake, screeching to a halt. Right in front of them, aglow in the headlights, a body hangs from a gnarled tree at the edge of town. Margaret Darby, an elderly spinster, has been murdered-and the villagers are bewildered as to who would commit such a crime. Agatha Raisin rises to the occasion (a little glad for the excitement, to tell the truth, after a long run of lost cats and divorces on the books). But Sumpton Harcourt is a small and private village, she finds-a place that poses more questions than answers. And when two more murders follow the first, Agatha begins to fear for her reputation-and even her life. That the village has its own coven of witches certainly doesn't make her feel any better... 20171004. Murder Investigation Fiction. Women detectives England Cotswold Hills Fiction.
