Another delightful escape!
I read this book on the couch next to a fireplace with the moonlight spilling all around me through the giant windows of our cabin after R went to bed and DH was watching a TV show that I am not interested in ( Breaking Bad )
Agatha Raisin is always in the grip of an obsession with her ex husband James Lacey.
She is delighted when he asks if she would like to take a vacation with him .
She packs a suitcase full of alluring clothes .
But James is taking her to a dreary town called Snoth-on-Sea
Its a miserable place and Agatha finds that her dreams of a cosy idyll with James are so far fetched
While eating dinner, a woman on a nearby table is very rude to her Agatha is inflamed and threatens to "kill " Geraldine
Of course, threatening to kill someone, is a manner of speech. A little hyperbole that we are all used to.
But Geraldine, turns up dead
Unattractive, plump Geraldine turns out to have had three husbands in the past One of them was a jewel -thief , now serving time
Turns out Geraldine has his stash !
Who has killed Geraldine? Of course I will not spoil the mystery for you.
But be assured, the murderer will not be discovered, until the other subplot- relating to laundering money - is also solved
There is yet another subplot in all Agatha Rasins - her romance with James Lacey
He is cold and bachelor like and only attracted to her in this story because she seems to have recovered from him.
This is the very first story in which Agatha finally seems to be growing up
But does she like it? No she does not!
Because love is the ultimate addiction
