Agatha Raisin, retired PR supremo, has been spurned at the altar by the man of her dreams—her attractive neighbor James Lacey. So temporarily deserting the sleepy Cotswold village of Carsely, she pursues her fleeing fianc├® to north Cyprus, where, instead of enjoying a romantic honeymoon, they witness the killing of an obnoxious tourist in a disco.

Goodreads review by Anne on February 19, 2025

I don't know why I'm still reading these because Agatha is a complete trainwreck. Then again, maybe that's why I can't seem to stop myself from immediately downloading the next book in the series each time I finish one. James leaves Agatha in Carsely to "get away" and Agatha promptly hops on a flight......more

Goodreads review by Jenny on September 26, 2013

Read them! All of them. All 23. They are simply fabulous! I love them and love Agatha Raisin. The stories are set in the English Cotswolds - which is where I'm from, so that makes them extra special, but I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you want to read about an opinionated, outspoken, head......more

Goodreads review by SoRoLi (Sonja) ♡ on December 12, 2018

Nach der geplatzten Hochzeit und der letzten Mordermittlung macht sich James heimlich auf nach Zypern. Eigentlich wollten Agatha und James dort zusammen ihre Flitterwochen verbringen. Kurzerhand reist Agatha James hinterher. Doch aus der romantischen Versöhnung wird nichts, denn auch auf Zypern wird......more

Goodreads review by Pam on July 10, 2016

Number 6 in the Agatha Raisin series. In this, it seems that Agatha's husband turned up in the previous book in time to prevent her marriage to James - after reading book 2, I can't imagine why he agreed to marry her - and although he was subsequently murdered, James has gone to North Cyprus where t......more

During the trip, she meets a group of English tourists, comprising two trios that are similar but profoundly different. One trio......more

Quotes

“Beaton has the Agatha formula down pat. Her imperfect heroine is an absolute gem and, since these stories never take themselves too seriously, readers can relax and enjoy them with a clean conscience.”

Publishers Weekly

“Now that her ex-fiance has run off to Cyprus, Agatha decides that her Cotswold village is boring. She pursues her former intended, witnesses a murder in a disco, and sleuths once more. Another refreshing and delightful series addition.”

Library Journal

“Beaton has a winner in the irrepressible, romance-hungry Agatha.”

Chicago Sun-Times, praise for the series

“The Miss Marple-like Raisin is a refreshingly sensible, wonderfully eccentric, thoroughly likable heroine.”

Booklist, praise for the series
