It was a nice change of pace having it set outside of the village, in sunny Cyprus. When will our heroine stop mooning over that stick in the mud, James??????

Agatha is reeling from her broken engagement to James Lacey, so much so that she follows him to their planned honeymoon spot of Cyprus. Although it seems implausible that Agatha could make friends, she does and when one of them is murdered she becomes a suspect. She is quickly ruled out as a suspect but takes it upon herself to try to solve the murder while trying to get James back. As dislikable as Agatha is I love this series. I am hesitant to admit that I like them more now that there is a show on Acorn TV.

This is the first Agatha Raisin book I've read since watching the TV series that wasn't covered in the TV series, which meant no vague recollections about who might or might not have done it or how. I don't think that increased or decreased my enjoyment. I wasn't a huge fan of the love triangle, but I didn't hate it. The pacing on this book seemed a little off. Aggie spends a lot of time literally chasing/following/seeking people, and while that is somewhat realistic (if you don't know where someone is, it will take a while to find them), it's also boring to read about. I think I might be maxed out on Agatha Raisin for this week. I'll have to read something else before jumping back in with Wellspring of Death.

Audiobook narrator Penelope Keith gets 5 stars!
