Agatha Raisin's not her usual self these days, as evidenced by her lack of make-up and frumpy clothes. Then Carsley gets a beatific new curate, Tristan Delon. To Agatha's surprise he seems to take a special interest in her. Despite his charms, there's something off about the curate and when he's found dead in the vicar's study, it's up to Agatha and her neighbor John Armitage to investigate.
