Book Description:
The morning of Agatha Raisin's long-awaited marriage to her attractive and elusive neighbor, James Lacey, dawns bright and clear. But the storm clouds of the day before would have been more appropriate. A new anti-wrinkle cream turns Agatha's face into one large red rash, James refuses to discuss his feelings for her, and then Agatha's first husband, Jimmy Raisin, reappears just in time to keep her from committing bigamy. The ensuing brouhaha -- Agatha tries to strangle Jimmy, whom she had thought long dead -- humiliates and embarrasses James Lacey, who abruptly breaks his engagement to Agatha.
When Jimmy is found murdered the next morning, Agatha and James are the prime suspects. Since the easiest way to clear their names is to find the real murderer, Agatha convinces James to help her investigate. But will their subsequent close proximity -- which has them, ironically, pretending to be man and wife -- be enough to soothe James's bruised pride?

Just as Agatha and James are about to say their I Do's in wanders the allusive Jimmy Raisin. Yes, that Jimmy Raisin, Agatha's first husband whom she had thought was long dead.
So with the wedding off and Agatha spitting nails, Jimmy is found dead in a ditch and since it appears no one else knew Jimmy, it had to be Agatha who killed him. But wait, not so fast , there are others in this tiny village that have secrets and Jimmy being there just might throw a wrench into their plans.
This is a very good series, humorous and with an interesting cast of characters that follow Agatha from book to book.

Deborah T. (More Agatha and more James, and more murder. This one was good, with some one liners that made me laugh out loud. Agatha has got to be bi polar, don't you think? She is the best.
Ellie (Another good Agatha Raisin adventure. This is a fun series.
Mookstruck Agatha is tying the knot with distinguished but reserved James Lacey before he can have second thoughts. After all, her first husband Jimmy must be long since dead of alcohol poisoning. But Jimmy Raisin hears the news in his cardboard residence among London's homeless--and reaches Carsely village just in time to stop the wedding. Book #5 in the series.
Moonstruck Agatha Raisin is tying the knot with distinguished but reserved James Lacey . . . but Jimmy Raisin hears the news in his cardboard residence among London's down-and-outs--and reaches Carsely village just in time to stop Agatha from committing bigamy.
Any middle-aged ladies out there? Mrs. Raisin is a hoot and will make you laugh as she solves murders and deals with life.
This like the other MC Beaton books are a fast read, yet they are full of adventure and in this case emotion.
Your heartbreaks for Agatha, yet she can make you laugh in this book as well. All the while is trying this time to free herself from a murder rap. This a one of the BEST Agatha books.
Agatha Raisin is a stitch, but the series should be read in something resembling sequence. This is nowhere near the first book, or the best, but it's a lot of fun.
