Agatha has fallen in love - again. This time it`s the local gardener, George Marston, she has her eye on. But competition for his attention abounds. With her shameless determination Agatha will do anything to get her man - including footing the bill for a charity ball in town just for the chance to dance with him. But when George is a no-show Agatha goes looking for him - and finds he has been murdered, having been bitten by a poisonous snake and buried in a compost heap. Agatha and the rest of her crew plunge into an investigation and discover that George had quite a complicated love life. And if Agatha now can`t have George, at least she can have the satisfaction of confronting those women who have and finding a murderer in the process. Praise for the Agatha Raisin series: `M.C. Beaton`s imperfect heroine is an absolute gem` Publishers Weekly `Clever red herrings and some wicked unfinished business guarantees that the listener will pant for a sequel` The Times (audio review)
