An Agatha Raisin Mystery

Agatha Raisin and the Murderous Marriage

The morning of Agatha's marriage to James Lacey dawns bright and clear. But her luck runs out in the church when Jimmy, the husband she had believed long dead, turns up large as life and twice as ugly. Agatha has a go at strangling him. James breaks off the engagement. So when Jimmy is found murdered next day, Agatha and James are both the prime suspects. And they'll have to work together in order to clear their names . . . "Beaton's dry sense of humour and her unflattering but affectionate portrait of gruff, often adolescent-acting Agatha makes this a bloom worth picking." Publishers Weekly

Agatha Raisin and the Murderous Marriage by M.C. Beaton

I love the Agatha Raisin series and this one is no exception. They're great easy reads with brilliant characters, especially the titular Agatha Raisin. The plots are excellent and I never normally work out who the culprit is.

C. Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem.' Publishers Weekly 'The detective novels of M. C. Beaton, a master of outrageous black comedy, have reached cult status.' The Times 'Being a cranky, middle-aged female myself, I found Agatha charming!' Amazon customer review 'I dream of being able to speak out like Aggie . . . she's a heroine!' A. Lucas, Essex, reader review

Auch den fünften Band dieser Serie fand ich wieder sehr unterhaltsam. Es ist zwar eigentlich etwas skurril, dass in diesem kleinen Ort auf dem Land immer wieder Morde geschehen, aber das tut dem Spaß keinen Abbruch. Jede Geschichte birgt neue Geheimnisse, liebgewonnene Charaktere bleiben sich treu und neue Figuren mischen die Szene auf. 
Buch Nr. 6 steht schon auf meiner Leseliste.

Another fun book in the Agatha Raisin series. Funny, humorous cozy mystery. As Agatha is standing at the alter to marry Mr. Lacey, her husband alive and well walks in and stops the wedding. After the initial humiliation, her husband is found dead and Agatha and Mr. Lacey have to solve the mystery to clear their name as the main suspects.

Yet another fun Agatha Raisin adventure! I love the way the characters evolve with the series. An entertaining read:)

I'm addicted! They're silly but I can't stop. And now I think in a British accent.
