Sinossi
L’idea della felicità coniugale è rimasta una chimera per Agatha Raisin. Il matrimonio con James Lacey è stato un disastro fin dall’inizio e, alla fine, lui l’ha lasciata… per entrare in monastero. E, per consolarsi, Agatha non ha potuto contare sul suo vecchio amico sir Charles Fraith, perché anche lui, in un certo senso, l’ha abbandonata, dato che è andato a Parigi per sposare una giovane francese. Neppure la vacanza in un’isola remota del Pacifico è servita a sollevarle l’umore… Ci riesce, invece, la scoperta del cadavere di una giovane donna, vestita da sposa e col bouquet ancora in mano, che viene ripescato da un fiume. Suicidio o delitto? La polizia propende per la prima ipotesi, ma il fidanzato della (non) sposa è, per Agatha, un individuo assai sospetto…

Recensioni
Oh, Agatha. I have mixed feelings about this book. Maybe that's how I'm supposed to feel, though? The shock of those first few pages! (view spoiler) [The book opens abruptly with the announcement that Charles Fraith ran off and got married to some French beauty half his age.WHAT?! (hide spoiler)] And Agatha is still pining over James Leggi tutto
As I live and breathe, that Agatha Raisin appears to be growing up. No longer is she endlessly chasing after James, or Charles or even the new man next door. Agatha is not doing anything as trite as trying to “find herself”, but she is starting to come to some new realizations and her old irritating Leggi tutto
All right, I've probably read too many Agatha Raisin books lately. She got a bit irritating this time at the end when she decided to just go ahead and search things at the end without notifying the police. I think her character made a bit of a regression there, while prior to this book, I'd been thi Leggi tutto
The endearing Agatha is at it again in that sleepy Cotswold village that she has retired to. "I am a real detective," declares Agatha truculently and then proceeds to hit a string of minor disasters while investigating the latest couple of murders that present themselves to her. The love interest ab Leggi tutto
I really enjoyed this Agatha Raisin mystery. Agatha is all alone - James has taken off to join a monastery, and Charles has taken off to France to marry some girl. So Agatha decides to take a mini-vacation. When she gets back, she finds a floating dead body of a woman in her wedding dress. She and h Leggi tutto
Agatha Raisin is secretly attracted to the new man in the revolving ownership house next door. She sees parallels in two deaths and investigates the local one. Although James has run off to join the monastery and Charles has married, it gives Mrs. Biloxby a chance to enter the fray.
Our Agatha just doesn’t listen to that voice in her head that tells her not to rush in where angels fear to tread. But she will don a wig and pretend to be from Television. Aggie also just doesn’t know what to do with men. How fragile our egos are. She is all of us middle aged women when we’re not a Leggi tutto
Not the best in the series but still worth while. For me there were to many similar characters in this book and it was hard to keep track of them. The ending was also very predictable. Nevertheless a new neighbor and love interest for Agatha added a new twist to the story. I will be interested to se Leggi tutto
