I love Agatha Raisin!  She's a mid-life woman who always ends up in the middle of murder investigations.   Agatha has finally married James, who I think is a jerk, but things aren't as happy as she thought they would be married.  When James ends up missing and a woman acquitance is murdered, Agatha gets involved to clear James' name.   Will Agatha,  with the help of Charles, figure out what's really happened.  

😊Happy Reading😊

Agatha finally got what she wanted: she's Mrs. James Lacey. But the honeymoon's over now, and the not-so-happy couple is still living in separate cottages and constantly bickering. When James suddenly disappears after a nasty public fight—and his former girlfriend is found murdered—Agatha becomes a person of interest. Can she find her husband, find the real killer, and clear her name in the process? And what is the terrible secret James has been hiding from her? It's up to Agatha and her occasional friend with benefits Sir Charles Fraith to find out.

Agatha Raisin and the Love from Hell by M.C. Beaton

I love the Agatha Raisin series and this one is no exception. They're great easy reads with brilliant characters, especially the titular Agatha Raisin. The plots are excellent and I never normally work out who the culprit is.

This was a very satisfying end to a particular ongoing issue in Agatha Raisin's life. Not neat and tidy with a bow, but I was glad it ended the way it did. As always she is sleuthing and/or bumbling around so that the case gets solved.

This was better than the previous two or three Agatha Raisin books in the series, but still a clunker and a half. Going on an Agatha break for a few months at least.

Recently married to James Lacey, the witty and fractious Agatha Raisin quickly finds that marriage and love are not all they are cracked up to be. Rather than basking in marital bliss, the newlyweds are living in separate cottages and accusing each other of infidelity.

Oh, Aggie! Always in the thick of it.
This time, she's in pursuit of her husband, James, who has gone missing under mysterious circumstances.
James has disappeared, and now people are dying - Agatha and Charles are on the hunt again.
Always enjoy an Agatha Mystery!
