As the Pig Turns:
Winter Parva, a traditional Cotswolds village next door to Carsely, has decided to throw a celebratory hog roast to mark the beginning of the winter holiday festivities and Agatha Raisin has arrived with friend and rival in the sleuthing business, Toni, to enjoy the merriment. But as the spit pig is carried towards the bed of fiery charcoal Agatha and the rest of the village realise that things aren’t as they seem…

Very quickly it transpires that the spit pig is in fact Gary Beech, a policeman not much loved in Winter Parva. And although Agatha has every intention of leaving the affair to the police, she rapidly changes her mind when she finds out Gary’s ex wife has hired Toni to investigate.

Cantankerous and competitive as Agatha is, she has to now join the fray and try and solve the case herself!

The Witches’ Tree:
Cotswolds inhabitants are used to inclement weather, but the night sky is especially foggy as Rory and Molly Devere, the new vicar and his wife, drive slowly home from a dinner party in their village of Sumpton Harcourt. They strain to see the road ahead, and then suddenly brake, screeching to a halt.

Right in front of them, aglow in the headlights, a body hangs from a gnarled tree at the edge of town. Margaret Darby, an elderly spinster, has been murdered, and the villagers are bewildered as to who would commit such a crime.

Agatha Raisin rises to the occasion, But Sumpton Harcourt is a small and private village, she finds a place that poses more questions than answers. And when two more murders follow the first, Agatha begins to fear for her reputation, and even her life. That the village has its own coven of witches certainly doesn’t make her feel any better…

The Skeleton in the Closet:
Ignorance is bliss… Especially when it comes to murder!

Ever since the death of his father, Fellworth Dolphin has slaved away as a waiter to support his miserly, cold hearted mother. So when she suddenly dies Fellworth is shocked to discover she has left him a fortune. Somewhat confused, Fell teams up with a girl from work, Maggie, to investigate the source of the riches. But what they find instead is a closet full of skeletons…

Is it really possible Fell’s father was involved in a decades-old train robbery? And who is the mysterious woman in the portrait hidden in his mother’s wardrobe?

As Fell and Maggie poke around the village for answers they find themselves on a surprise filled path to danger and adventure, but all this good fortune could come to a sudden end if they don’t stay one step ahead of a cunning killer…
