Ditching Carsely for the vast Wyckhadden Hotel to escape personal embarrassment, Agatha finds herself in the center of another scandal when local 'witch' Francie Juddle is discovered bludgeoned to death. Trapped in the area until the matter is resolved, Agatha begins her own investigation. Synopsis - Escaping Carsely after an unfortunate (and potentially mortifying) hairdressing mishap, Agatha books herself into the vast Wyckhadden Hotel to avoid personal embarrassment. The establishment is far from her expectations - a spooky place with eccentric guests. Hoping to put an end to her hair woes, Agatha visits local 'witch' Francie Juddle, but finds herself in the center of another scandal when Francie's body is discovered mere hours later. With suspicion falling on the various hotel guests - including American tourists JENNIFER STOBBS and MABEL DULSEY, the skittish DAISY JONES and permanent resident COLONEL LYCHE - as well as Agatha herself, news reaches Carsely of Francie's gruesome passing. Bound by duty to their friend, James, Bill, Roy and Gemma journey to Wyckhadden in the hopes of clearing Agatha's name. Though officially warned off the case by local police, Agatha is quick to sniff out possible motives for Francie's unfortunate murder. And when Francie's daughter JANINE appears on-scene with a possible way of unmasking the murderer, Agatha must answer a potentially life-changing question from James.
