The Witches' Tree

When the new vicar and his wife discover a body hanging from a gnarled, lightning-blasted tree in the village of Sumpton Harcourt, local private investigator Agatha Raisin is thrilled to trade in her monotonous diet of lost cats and divorce cases for a real investigation. However, what begins as a singular murder quickly escalates into a series of killings within a small, insular village. To make matters more complex—and dangerous—the village happens to house its own coven of witches, whose presence casts a long, ominous shadow over Agatha's investigation.
