Title: Terrible is right!
Review: After reading this book I would swear off Beaton forever if it weren't for the fact so many people seem to enjoy them. This was my first shot at an Agatha Raisin book, and it was terrible. The cast of characters was unbelievable. Agatha follows her ex-fiancee to Cyprus. She follows him around moon-eyed and sulky because he doesn't receive her with open arms. She spends the whole book acting like an attention-starved puppy. James treats her badly, insults her, belittles her and she still goes back for more stomping around and getting angry when he doesn't fall at her feet. As for the actual mystery, it was a little more plausible, but still took way too long to solve. The book could have been much shorter and still gotten the point across. I hope her other Agatha Raisin books are better than this one.
