Agatha's old friend, Sir Charles Fraith, after he took Agatha to the Rollright stones to learn more about them and the Lone Warrior, took Agatha to Antonio's ice cream. Agatha is still feisty and still looking for love (and maybe making a mistake or two along the way). The often penurious Sir Charles Fraith is having a flush period and even drops 20 pounds into the honesty collection box when he and Agatha visit the Rollright Stones location (a subplot using the real-life historical neolithic site).When Toni and Agatha stop to see what this man could want, Edward Carstairs explains that he is the social convenor for the Mircester Naturist Society, a group of people who enjoy each other's company while naked.

Agatha Raisin is still cranky at times, but is obviously caring about her friends and coworkers, and displays sensitivity and insecurity in her private moments.
