Agatha Raisin and the Wizard of Evesham (8)
What you need to know before your trail
The local ladies all deem Mr John a wizard, so when Agatha finds a few grey hairs on her head – and the rinse she tries at home turns her hair purple – she makes a beeline for the handsome Evesham hairdresser. And as well as sorting out her hair it soon becomes clear the charming man also has designs on her heart – but their future together is cut short when Mr John is fatally poisoned in his salon.
Once again Agatha finds herself embroiled in a murder case. Was it one of Mr John’s many customers, all of whom divulged to him their darkest secrets?
Travel Guide
Agatha Raisin’s Cotswolds
Cotswolds – “Carsely”
Agatha Raisin lives in a fictional village – Carsely – in the Cotswolds but even though you can’t visit the village, there are plenty of places you can go and walk around as if you were Agatha herself. Just don’t get into quite the same trouble as her, will you?
Some ideas of places to visit:
Charlbury
This is a nice little village. Could it be Carsely?
Moreton in Marsh
This is the village where the “Books Yule Love “ bookshop is and where market day is. We can imagine Agatha popping in here! What a lovely name!
Evesham
This may be the place to go and find out more about the village whilst Agatha gets her hair done in the local hairdressers. The Evesham Road features in the novel.

Chipping Camden
This is the village where Agatha and James go for a spot of dinner. Try the Red Bull for real Cotswold charm!
