Publisher's summary

Agatha Raisin thinks she’s in for a treat when her ex-husband, James Lacey, invites her on a holiday. But to her horror, his idea of an exotic destination is a small, rundown resort of Snoth-on-Sea. Needless to say, the break doesn’t go as planned. When a fellow guest in their hotel is found murdered, Agatha herself becomes a suspect - and it looks as if she will be solving this particular case from the confines of a prison cell....

Fun, Light and Engaging

The Agatha Raisin books are fun, light and engaging, just what I want for distraction from news of the day. The plots are full of twists and turns that may be a little transparent at times, but are mostly entertaining surprises. Characters are appealing enough to keep me wanting another chapter, or another book. Agatha is ... a pistol.

senior citizens

the story was interesting. overall Penelope Keith performed well. however, until the character indicated the ages, I thought the characters were at least in their 60s or 70s, senior citizens.

Another great AR story.

I simply love this series. I have listened from the start and have enjoyed the progression of Agatha truly growing into her own person I. Her 50s. Being 51, I can can relate so well with her insecurities. Beaton really is authentic in her psychological make up of a women who feels she has no worth, yet finds that is not true with each murder she solves.

I love that she is a PI now too. And £uck James Lacy. Aggie is better then him and deserve more from a mob who is in love with her. Like he is actually in love with her and not just looking for his ego to be scratched.

Charles is definitely a favorite character of mine, and the new PI team character are very enjoyable and help our Agatha shine.

Great story

James invites Agatha on vacation then abandons her. Agatha being Agatha pulls herself together solves the crime and realizes that James isn't the fantasy that has been in her dreams. This is a great book.

Penelope Keith should be the ONLY narrator for this series.

This series is great because of the narrator! Her inflection and changing of the voices are like velvet on the ears. I can’t stand to listen to the other. I may just purchase those in actual book form.

Switched things up

MC switched things up this story. I really get upset with the Charles, Agatha, and James triangle. I'm happy she's starting to be independent, but also feel like they all are their own worst enemies.
