Agatha's former husband James is engaged to be married to a beautiful, young woman and Agatha has been kindly invited to the wedding. To take her mind off this, Agatha decides she has fallen for Sylvan, a Frenchman she met at James' engagement party. To distract her still further she decides upon a holiday and flies to Istanbul, where unfortunately she bumps into James and his fiancee not once but twice - convincing him she is stalking them. So when the bride is murdered on her wedding day, naturally Agatha is Suspect Number One - but then matters are turned on their head when the dead bride's mother engages Agatha to take on the case of her murdered daughter! And very soon Agatha's own life is in danger while she tries to solve the mystery of the corpse bride while fighting off (halfheartedly) the advances of a very attractive and determined Frenchman. Praise for the "Agatha Raisin" series: 'M.C. Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem' - "Publishers Weekly". 'The detective novels of M.C. Beaton, a master of outrageous black comedy, have reached cult status' - "The Times". '"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. 'Being a cranky, middle-aged female myself, I found "Agatha" charming' - Amazon customer review.

This story is one I have really enjoyed because it jumps about alot and kept my interest from the start to finish. I like it when Agatha comes a cropper and the thought of her almost being thrown from a boat and drowned but managing to escape is quite marvellous. Like wise I could visualise her meeting dates and finding them total wash outs because who would ever meet her criteria for a relationship. The investigations into the murder of a bride and the outcome all kept me guessing. Not over long and nicely segmented this was a book to read over a few days and picking it up again and getting back into the story was easy. I could of course see Penelope Keith as Agatha and I wonder if this was how M C Beaton saw her character.

Bought this book at around mid-day today and had finished it by around 4pm.
Alright I did not read the first few pages, which are the same in every book.
This was a good read, but a lot lighter than most of the others. I got the feeling that it was written as quickly as I read it. Not to say it was any less of a typical Agatha Raisin book.
Having read them all in order, I must say that I have enjoyed them all so far. I know that some folk have not enjoyed them all, but I have.
They are easy reading. A break from the hard-boiled books that I normally read.
They do what they say on the tin!!!! No fault in that is there. You buy an Agatha Raisin book and you know that you are in for some good old fashioned fun.
Do not know what I am going to do when I have read them all. Sadly, the other series do not appeal for some reason.

Ive read all the Agatha Raisin books to date and im sorry to say that this one is absolutely awful.
The story was overly predicatble ,boring and the charactisation dredful.
As another reviewer points out the author repeats herself over and over again with the same use of words "pugnacious faces, steel grey hair " .It was as if MC Beaton had actually forgotton how to write .
This was such a huge disapointment from beginning to end I rushed through it just to finish it, whereby other Agatha Raisin stories I would, yes, be rushing through it but only because I couldnt wait to find out who had done the crime .
At times I found myself thinking is this really MC Beaton's character Agatha Raisin? The ballsy, feisty,rude detective that we have all come to know and love .
It wasnt even amusing in parts just felt like a book written in a day just to make some cash.
I shall purchase the next installment of Agatha Raisin and i will keep my fingers crossed that its better than "there goes the bride".Lets hope for us Agatha fans this was just MC Beaton having an off day
