Book Reviews of Agatha Raisin and the Terrible Tourist (Agatha Raisin, Bk 6)

Agatha Raisin cozy mystery #6, this one set in Cyprus where Agatha has gone in search of James Lacey, her ex-fiance. Before long the bodies start dropping and Agatha gets herself involved in attempting to help the police solve the murders. Sometimes I really want to slap Agatha, but at other times she seems a bit like every woman and you can’t help but sympathize.

6th in the series. Agatha inflicts herself on Cypress.

This was not my favorite. RUnning after JAmes again??

With Jimmy Raisin now dead and James Lacey hightailing it away from their wedding, Agatha is aghast that James would leave for their intended honeymoon destination without her. It was just a misunderstanding that she really was not a widow, but Agatha knows she can make amends if James would just give her a chance. Therefore, off to Cyprus and God willing she will get her man, but first she has to find him.

Agatha finally meets up with a very cold and brusque James and they are quickly drawn into a group of Europeans that somehow involve Agatha in yet another mystery. With the help of an old friend Sir Charles Fraith, one that Agatha really should avoid but yet makes for a very interesting twist to anger James, Agatha continues her investigation into not one but now two murder mysteries, which at times has Agatha in danger of losing her own life.

Though not a very imaginative book, the Agatha saga has me following story after story just to see what lie Agatha will tell next and how she will get herself of out her next sticky situation.

The one endearing part of this book is a very interesting conversation between Agatha and James when he explains his conflict with her and for the first time I see James really opening up. Now if only Agatha could see it that way and stop throwing Charles in his face.

Another great Agatha Raisin book. Any fan will enjoy this book!

Eh. You wish Agatha would either just give up on Mr. Lacey at this point, but then this book wouldn't happen if she was not chasing him around. You could skip this one. Lets hope there is another man out there......

Agatha can be ornery and short-tempered. In this installment, she's got plenty of reason to be!

She's also warm and caring. This story combines her personality with her penchant for solving mysteries - while on holiday.

Another great mystery by MC Beaton.
