Almost bigamy and absolute murder—Agatha Raisin’s life is never dull.
The morning of Agatha’s longed-for 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. It’s all too much for James, who breaks off the engagement. So when Jimmy is found murdered the next day, Agatha and James are both suspects. And they’ll have to work together in order to clear their names.

“One of the interesting things about this series is
how unappealing the abrasive Agatha can be. She’s vain, snide, and
self-pitying on a regular basis. All that adds up to a heroine who is
also very human, and perhaps that—we identify with her even if we don’t
always like her—is one of the elements that keeps readers coming back.
Another is Beaton’s plotting. Like snack food, it’s fast, tasty, and
leaves you satisfied.”
