Ashley Jensen stars as PR queen turned detective, Agatha Raisin, in this contemporary, stylish crime drama from highly-acclaimed producers. The Quiche of Death is the first in the long-running, globally-successful Agatha Raisin novels franchise written by M C Beaton. Agatha Raisin is a hard-talking but emotionally-fragile PR whizz, gives up her career in London and lands with a bang in the quiet village of Carsley with hopes of beginning a new dream life in the country. Used to getting her own way, Agatha soon finds herself bored and lonely. Life in the Cotswolds isnt exactly the perfect existence she imagined. Her high-flying city attitude is met with suspicion from the country locals, who arent quite ready for the feisty and acerbic Agatha. In an attempt to ingratiate herself, Agatha enters the annual quiche making competition and inadvertently becomes a suspect in a murder case. As her reputation sinks ever lower, Agatha has no choice but to clear her name and earn the respect of her fellow villagers. With a superb cast and a wicked sense of humour this is a fresh take on the classic British crime drama which both devoted 'Raisin' fans and newcomers alike will enjoy.
