When Private Detective Agatha Raisin learns that her friend and one-time lover Charles Fraith is about to be married to a mysterious socialite, Miss Mary Brown-Field, she sees it as her duty to find out what she can about the woman. Coming up empty, Agatha does the only sensible thing she can think of--she crashes their wedding, which ends in a public altercation. Nursing a hangover the next morning, she gets a phone call from Charles with the news that Mary has been murdered. Agatha takes on the case and quickly discovers a multitude of motives among a wide range of characters. Meanwhile, the police department has its money on Agatha herself as the suspect. Will she track down the criminal in time, or will she end up behind bars herself?
