To add to her woes, Agatha finds herself grappling with growing feelings for her friend and occasional lover, Sir Charles Fraith.

Library Journal Review

The celebrated Queen of Crime returns with her beloved Agatha Raisin on the trail of the murderer who carted elderly Mrs. Dunwiddy's body to the scrubby woods lining the road out of Mircester. That brings Agatha face to face with factory bosses and Russian officials (both unforthcoming) even as she broods over her growing feelings for her friend and sometime lover, Sir Charles Fraith.
