Christmas tale thatâ€™s holly, jollyâ€”and deadly, by gollyâ€¦,At home alone for the holidays, Agatha Raisin decides to host a dinner party for the elder residents in her Cotswold village of Winter Parva. Agathaâ€™s never been able to cook, but sheâ€™s dead-set on making this the perfect holiday for local â€œcrumblies". Sheâ€™s decorated a tree while fending off her cats Hodge and Boswell, and even made a (lumpy) Christmas pudding in between swigs of rum.,When Agatha dumps the pudding on the head of the local self-proclaimed lotharioâ€”an eighty-five year old with a beer belly and fingers like sausagesâ€”his death by dessert proves more than a trifle as mysteries mount higher than the seasonâ€™s snowfall. So much for trying to do good by her neighbors. Now Agatha needs no less than a Christmas miracle to get herself out of this one...
