softstarrynights's review against another edition
3.0
Agatha Raisin and the Love from Hell is the eleventh book in this cosy murder mystery series set in the Cotswolds. This one follows recently married Agatha as her husband goes missing and a woman is found dead. I have hated James Lacey for a long time in this series, and my hatred for him reached a hitherto unknown pinnacle with this book. Every decision he made int his book was the worst, and I was hoping that he would never be found. If James' presence, or lack thereof, hadn't been so prominent then I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more because the murder portion of the book was interesting. The suspects were all very distinctive, and while they did occasionally come off as a little ridiculous it fit in with the fun tone of the series. It wasn't the most compelling of mysteries but it did enough to keep your attention and to keep you entertained enough to finish the book. I've often said the less of James, the more I enjoy the book and it's unfortunate this, in this case, there was far too much James Lacey for my taste.

3. James is rude.
Penelope Keith did a good job narrating.

I liked this a lot at the beginning, then the characters started to get annoying. I'd probably read another one in the series, though. I just wouldn't go out of my way to do so.
