Nothing could be more relaxing or sedate than a quiet game of bowls on a pristine bowling green
bathed in the sunshine of an English summer's afternoon in the Cotswolds - unless there's a
dead body lying on the grass. Agatha Raisin becomes embroiled in a turmoil of jealousy and
lies when the tranquility of her local bowls club explodes into a storm of accusation and
intrigue - and murder. Her private life is no less turbulent when a past suitor reappears just
as her ex-husband seems intent on rekindling their romance and her close friend Bill Wong is
in danger of losing the woman he loves. Events take an even darker turn when Agatha realises
that in pursuing the bowling green killer she is putting her own life in danger... Praise
