Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death
After years of bullying others as a high-flying public relations boss, Agatha takes early retirement to a picture-perfect village in the Cotswolds. And how better to make friends than by entering the local quiche-making competition? To ensure first prize Agatha buys her entry at a London delicatessen. Alas, Agatha's perfect product is soon exposed - as not only store-bought but poisoned. The contest judge succumbs after eating it, and with him go Agatha's chances of rural bliss - unless she can discover the real poisoner...

The Long Quiche Goodbye
Welcome to the grand opening of Fromagerie Bessette. Or as it's more commonly known by the residents of small-town Providence, Ohio-the Cheese Shop. Proprietor Charlotte Bessette has prepared a delightful sampling of bold Cabot Clothbound Cheddar, delicious tortes of Stilton and Mascarpone, and a taste of Sauvignon Blanc-but someone else has decided to make a little crime of passion the piece de resistance. Right outside the shop Charlotte finds a body, the victim stabbed to death with one of her prized olive-wood handled knives.
