This whimsical series describes the life of Agatha Raisin, the Main character. She works in public relations in London, however once she makes a decision to change her life drastically.

In the first one of them she turns out to be the suspect.

In the last episode of Season 1 James and Agatha’s wedding is disrupted by Agatha’s former husband, who was considered to be dead. He claims that he wants to receive monetary compensation because he agreed to divorce Agatha. Soon he unexpectedly dies, and the Main heroine becomes the murder suspect. To protect herself and save her reputation, she must investigate this case on her own. James helps her to do that, and they make a surprising revelation together.

Interesting
