Recently married to James Lacey, Agatha quickly finds out that it’s not all "happy ever after" - before long the newlyweds are living in separate cottages and accusing each other of infidelity. After a fight down the local pub James vanishes completely, leaving a bloodstain as the only clue to his fate. Naturally, Agatha is Prime Suspect. Determined to clear her name and find her husband, Agatha begins her investigation - and promptly finds a murdered mistress...

MY REVIEW:

This eleventh book in the Agatha Raisin series is one of my favourites!

Agatha finally gets her man, but the marital bliss does not last. After a very public argument, James disappears and a woman is murdered which brings suspicion on both him and Agatha. Charles comes to the rescue, and the two of them search for James to try to find out what really happened.

Even though I prefer Agatha with Charles, I was rooting for Aggie to finally get her happy ending but it was not to be! I felt sorry for Agatha, with James’ constant criticism. She is better off without him! I hope that she can finally put James behind her! Somehow, I doubt that will happen.

Penelope Keith is such a dramatic narrator. She makes me laugh out loud and smile while listening.

MY RATING:

5 stars!! I loved it, and I will likely re-read it again in the future! You should definitely put it on your TBR list if you enjoy cozy mysteries.
