At age 26 Agatha Raisin has already come a long way. She has clawed her way up since leaving the Birmingham slum where she was born. She's lost her Birmingham accent, run away from her drunken husband, and found a job at a public relations office as a secretary. Then her boss asks Agatha to go to the home of Sir Bryce Teller to tell him that he is soon to be arrested for the murder of his wife and that the agency no longer wants to represent him.

The village of Badger's Drift is the essence of tranquillity. But when resident and well-loved spinster Miss Simpson takes a stroll in the nearby woods, she stumbles across something she was never meant to see, and there's only one way to keep her quiet. Miss Simpson's death is not suspicious, say the villagers. But Miss Lucy Bellringer refuses to rest: her friend has been murdered. She is sure of it.

De: Agatha Christie
In "A Pair of Yellow Lilies," the victim of a theft comes into unexpected contact with an irresistible young man in possession of an equally irresistible article of clothing.
A woman looks back on her strange upbringing in the care of her grandmother who is obsessed with scissors, paste, and her "Paperwork."
A dangerous husband with a vulpine smile is the antagonist of "Mother's Help."
"Long Live the Queen" is about a cat lady and her distress at the loss of a prized pet.
"Dying Happy" has an old man in his last days regretting getting what he wished for.
"Weeds" finds us in an English country garden in which a gathering of guests finds something darker and more dangerous going on than the cultivation of herbacious borders.
"The Copper Peacock" introduces us to a self-absorbed author with elitist preconceptions who fancies the daily help.
"The Fish Sitter" is a bizarre story about, not surprisingly, an aquarium.
The final story, "An Unwanted Woman," is an Inspector Wexford mini-mystery centering upon a teenage girl.
For me, there wasn't a disappointment in the lot, and Penelope Keith's narration was a delectable treat.
Nine tales of the unexpected
