5.0

Second in the Agnes Sharp series, this is just as clever and engaging, Instead of the POV of a tortoise (who is hibernating) we have a white snake. Also the POV of several human characters, including Agnes herself. The housemates have decamped to an eco-tourist hotel on the British coast because their heater is broken, and this provides an interesting setup for a series of murders. Agnes isn't quite as sharp as she was in the previous book; she appears to be losing her faculties yet is still able to piece together the puzzle. The wacky set of characters from Sunset Hall are joined by new ones including a frightened young man and a vengeful widow. An intriguing read.
