But when the women of Carsely flock to the vets in the hopes of stealing a glance at newbie PAUL BLADEN, she cannot resist a peek for herself. Sure, enough, Paul is a smoothie - and he quickly invites Agatha out to a candlelit supper. But the flirtation is cut brutally short when Paul's lifeless body is found the next morning. An unfortunate 'accident' is ruled as cause of death as, during an operation on the Pendlebury estate, an injection of extremely powerful tranquilizer found its way into Paul's heart.

As Agatha edges towards unmasking the killer, she and James become closer during the investigation.
