“Charles Fraith was not feeling guilty at having abandoned Agatha. But he was bored.”
Crumbs, James Lacey is back and this time he means business,
offering Agatha a chance to get away somewhere mysterious. As per usual,
Aggie’s imagination could never come up with the complete disaster that his
less than romantic overtures will play out. James’ memory of delightful childhood
seaside vacations in Snoth-on-Sea, are a far cry from the decrepit surrounds of
the Palace Hotel. The food is worse than Agatha’s microwaveable meals and the
other guests are a fright. Naturally murder and mayhem can’t be too far away; and
it looks like Agatha is the prime suspect.
For once it is Agatha’s accessories that are a crime. James
is off at the first opportunity and thankfully Charles is back to keep things
interesting. He is also in the bad books. So many men, so little action for
dear Mrs Raisin.
Will our intrepid heroine ever make it out of the accursed
Palace Hotel? Will she finally be done with James once and for all? If, like
me, you are an Agatha Raisin tragic, you’ll enjoy getting your feet wet by the
sea over this little mystery.
5 out of 5 English
seaside resorts aren’t what they used to be.
