Love, Lies and Liquor: An Agatha Raisin Mystery by M. C. Beaton
In bestseller Beaton's somewhat entertaining 17th Agatha Raisin mystery; Agatha still carries a torch for her ex-husband, James Lacey, who invites her on holiday after moving back to the cottage next door to hers in the small English village of Carsely. Regrettably, the surprise destination is a ramshackle British seaside town, Snoth-on-Sea, where a fellow visitor at their hotel is murdered, strangled with Agatha's scarf. Before Agatha can make much progress in her sleuthing, two more guests are murdered. More appealing than the typical crime solving varieties -but the underdeveloped victims and suspects are hard to tell apart, let alone care about. But I enjoyed the back-and-forth between Agatha and James. Driven by Agatha's strong personality, this predictable pleasant book will please most readers.
