Agatha has actually matured over the course of this series. Her softer, more vulnerable side is becoming more prevalent, although she often continues to ignore the long-developing love that is right under her nose. I really hope that when MC Beaton ends this series it is with a wedding between Agatha and Sir Charles!
Agatha gets involved in a series of murders after the new vicar of the village of Sumpton Harcourt and his wife discover the body of local spinster Margaret Darby hanging from the witch's tree near their home. As the police investigate, Agatha is hired by Sir Edward, a bored local aristocrat, to work on the case. Beaton uses her usual crew of quirky associates and locals to create a satisfying little mystery. Reading this is a great way to spend a rainy weekend or just to relax and get away from reality for a while!
