Publisher's summary

Agatha Raisin's neighboring village of Ancombe is usually the epitome of quiet rural charm, but the arrival of a new mineral-water company - which intends to tap into the village spring - sends tempers flaring and divides the parish council into two stubborn camps. When Agatha, who happens to be the PR person for the water company, finds the council chairman murdered at the spring, tongues start wagging. Could one of the council members have silenced the chairman before he could cast the deciding vote? It is up to Agatha, still nursing a bruised heart from her broken engagement, to investigate the councilors, solve the crime - and promote the water company in the face of all this scandal.

I love M.C. Beaton!

Beaton nails it again. Her characters with all of their human frailties, her twists and turns of plot makes me want to keep listening to more of her books on Audible.

There are times when our Agatha becomes a bit PATHETIC. However the "who done it" aspect remains intriguing.

This is a fun novel.

Agatha and Roy are hilarious in this one. M.C. Beaton is so clever and witty. Penelope Keith is the most entertaining narrator ever.

Death and PR.

Agatha has a great reputation as a PR person and is once again pressed into work representing a water company. When a body turns up at the water site, Agatha runs damage control. She’s hard pressed to think it’s someone from the water company until a clue jumps in front of her. James who isn’t good at relationships and communication is acting like a hurt little boy where it comes to Agatha, who is not doing herself any favors in her quest to not think of him and his chilliness towards her.

Wonderful cozy mystery!

What a great book. Murder and mayhem as usual in the Cotswolds. Leave it to Agatha to get tangled right in the middle of it. The narrator, Penelope Keith, does a great job of bringing Agatha's character to life. I can really picture her getting ready for dates, being jealous, putting on anti-wrinkle cream and solving murders.
