Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death

Selling her public relations firm to take early retirement and fulfil her childhood dream of a cottage in the Cotswolds, Agatha Raisin soon discovers reality does not quite match the dream. Used to the pace of London and an all consuming career, Agatha finds it difficult to settle in a village where anyone of less than twenty years standing is an 'incomer.' However, she decides entering the village quiche competition is just the thing to help. It is here that her real problems start. With no talent for cookery, Agatha cheats by buying a quiche from a London delicatessen. Not only does she fail to win but the competition judge, Reg Cummings-Browne, is found dead the next morning. The prospect of being labelled cheat and murderess determines Agatha to get to the bottom of the mystery.
