Chapter 1
The thing that finally nudged Agatha Raisin into opening her own detective agency was what she always thought of as the Paris Incident.
Made restless by the summer torpor blanketing the village of Carsley in the Cotswolds, Agatha decided to take a weeks holiday in Paris.
Synopsis
Infuriated that her holiday was ruined by a mugging, Agatha Raisin decides to open up her own detective agency. The romance-minded sleuth is thrilled by visions of handsome fellow gumshoes and headline-making crimes--but soon finds the only cases she can get are a non-glamorous lot of lost cats and an errant teenager. But when a wealthy divorcée hires the agency to investigate a death threat against her daughter Cassandra, Agatha thwarts a vicious attack on the heiress bride. Now Agatha is in hot pursuit of the culprit. But when the groom's father turns up dead, Agatha must untangle a growing list of suspects, from Carsely's quiet village lanes to Paris' most fashionable streets. Soon the willfully undaunted Agatha is in trouble with French and British police; on the outs (again) with old friends--and dead in the sights of a murderer.

Well, of course, I'd keep reading. I love anything that happens in France. Here's Mine
Yesterday we reserved our tickets to Paris for our autumn trip and I'm so excited about it. So, any intro, cover, title related with PAris attracts me these days.
I'd keep reading... really enjoyed the first Agatha Raisin book and have The Vicious Vet waiting on my shelf.
My mom loves this author and after reading the intro I will have to listen to her recommendation.
I want to try this author, but not sure where I'd start??
With Agatha it is always best to start at the beginning Agatha Raisin and The Quiche of Death this way you can watch Agatha grow as both a person and a friend.
