In Pushing Up Daisies, Lord Bellington, a wealthy land developer, wants to turn the
local community garden into a housing estate. Agatha Raisin, a retired
successful businesswoman turned private detective, confronts him, but he
bellows at her, “Do you think I give a damn about what a lot of pesky villagers
want?”
When he dies two weeks later, possibly by poison in his
crème de menthe, the list of suspects is sizable. It includes his son, Damian,
who has no intention carrying through his father’s plans; his daughter, who
wants to fund an animal sanctuary; the ex-wife, and most of the village.
A long-running, humorous series, which hasn’t lost any of
its charm. Agatha is the village busybody you love to hate.
