When Agatha's ex-husband, Jimmy Raisin, returns to Carsely unannounced, it tests her relationship with James Lacey to its snapping point. And when Jimmy ends up dead in a ditch, Agatha is put in the frame for his murder. Synopsis - Finally engaged to be wed, Agatha and James' happy day has arrived. All of Carsely has turned out to see the couple get hitched. But the course of true love never did run smooth. Roused by an announcement in the paper, Agatha's ex-husband JIMMY RAISIN (formerly presumed dead) unexpectedly gatecrashes the ceremony and makes his presence known, to devastating effect. A hopeless drunk and living on the streets of London, Jimmy wants money if Agatha is to ensure a quickie divorce and his permanent departure from the Cotswolds. But when Jimmy changes the terms of the agreement (collaring Agatha in the early hours of the morning), Agatha whacks him in the head in frustration. Found dead in a ditch the next morning, Agatha is put in the frame for his murder. Though emotions between the two have never been at a lower point, Agatha and James must once again join forces if they are to find the real culprit responsible for Jimmy's death. Tracking his recent whereabouts to a drying-out clinic just a few villages over, Agatha discovers some secrets may be closer to home than she previously realized.
