However this cloud has a silver lining - she can persuade her usually stand-offish neighbour, James Lacey, to become her partner in the quest. As usual, Agatha is quite prepared to rush in, heedless of the lurking menace to both James and herself"--Cover Agatha Raisin believes the village vet has taken a shine to her, but before romance can bloom, he accidently kills himself.
