Product Description
Review
"* 'Anyone interested in a few hours' worth of intelligent, amusing reading will want to make the acquaintance of Mrs. Agatha Raisin.' - The Cleveland Pain Dealer * 'Agatha Raisin is sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining, delightfully intolerant and oh so magnificently non PC. M C Beaton has created a new national treasure... the stories zing along and are irresistible, unputdownable, a joy. If you buy one book a year, let it be this. Agatha Raisin is The Strongest Link.' - Anne Robinson * 'Beaton's dry sense of humour and her unflattering but affectionate portrait of gruff, often adolescent acting Agatha make this... tale a bloom worth picking.' - Publishers Weekly * 'Engaging' - Booklist"

The best in the series so far!,
By jackieg1 "jackieg1" (Preston, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Agatha Raisin and the Terrible Tourist (Agatha Raisin Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the sixth book in the Agatha Raisin series and having read them all so far I believe it to be the best.At the end of book five Agatha had been left standing at the alter by James Lacey after Agatha's husband had turned up. James flees to North Cyprus (which was going to be their honeymoon destination) and is eventually followed by Agatha who cannot bear not to have contact with James. Of course a murder of a tourist takes place at a disco and Agatha and James investigate. James is feeling agrieved at being mistreated by the people he has rented his accomodation off and disappears to Turkey in search of him. Agatha is left to solve the murder herself which she does admirably. On arriving back in Carsley Agatha finds that James as not arrived back and is extremely disappointed. This of course is the end of the book and we are, sadly,left waiting to see what will happen between Agatha and James. I loved this book and thought there was much more humour to be found than in the others. To understand the ongoing relationship between Agatha and James I do think it is necessary to read the series from the start, beginning with Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death.

Hmmm ....In My Opinion,
By
This review is from: Agatha Raisin and the Terrible Tourist (Agatha Raisin 06) (Paperback)
Having read all of the Agatha Raisin series ,in my humble opinion, this is the most awful episode of them all ..
It is slow,boring and frustrating beyond belief ... It failed to entertain me throughout and when i finally finished it ,it left me feeling ARGHHHHHH !!!!!What was the point in all that .... The story seems rushed and not very well thought out and one of those quick pen to paper jobs ...a filler in otherwords ...not good Quick update ...sorry this isnt the worse one ive read "there goes the bride " is by far the worse of them all this one is second now ..is Mrs Beaton losing her touch ?

LOSING IT?,
By Mr. D. L. Rees "LEE DAVID" (DORSET) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Agatha Raisin and the Terrible Tourist (Paperback)
After the wedding that never was, James Lacey has fled to north Cyprus, craving time to think. Agatha, in hot pursuit, determines to track him down and seek to repair their fractured relationship. Both become embroiled with a group of ill matched tourists, all to become suspects when one of them is murdered....
It is hard to sympathize with the Agatha of this book. Some might even regard her a stalker, in need of therapy. She does not exactly help the attempts for reconciliation with James by going to bed with the randy baronet from an earlier novel. Extensive quotes from guidebooks prove a bit irksome, but appealing descriptions of the region and its inhabitants may tempt some readers to visit. (It should be safe with Agatha now back in Carsely.) A controversial addition to the series.
