Love, Lies AND Liquor by M.C. Beaton

#17 An Agatha Raisin Mystery

In the long and successful string of mystery novels featuring private detective Agatha Raisin, who lives a perpetually *****ly existence in the picturesque Cotswolds, trouble normally comes right to Agatha's tiny village of Carsely. In this seventeenth entry in the series, Agatha goes a little farther afield before trouble engulfs her. Agatha's ex-husband, James, from whom she has never fully recovered, has given Agatha reason to believe he may want to reconcile. He invites her to join him at the beloved scene of his childhood summer vacations, Snoth-on-Sea. The resort is rundown, the food miserable, and the guests obnoxious. Agatha's shouting match in the dining room with a boorish, insulting woman comes back to haunt her when the woman is found strangled to death, Agatha's scarf around her pudgy neck. Agatha must investigate to clear herself. More murder follows. Another highly satisfying Beaton cozy, this one is long on the kind of social comedy that uses character, plot, and atmosphere to produce the laughter.Code:
