Agatha Raisin and the Wellspring of Death: An Agatha Raisin Mystery, Paperback/M. C. Beaton

This time, in M.C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin and the Wellspring of Death , the feisty sleuth stumbles upon the victim of an unnatural death in Cotswold village's famous natural spring. Who was the unlucky corpse? The Ancombe Parish Council chairman-and the only uncommitted member voting on whether to allow the Ancombe Water Company to tap into the town's spring. Add ex-fiance James, watery politicians, and slippery entrepreneurs to the mix, and you have Agatha Raisin up to her neck in a murky murder mystery.
