About this listen

The morning of Agatha's marriage to James Lacey dawns bright and clear. But her luck runs out in the church when Jimmy, the husband she had believed long dead, turns up large as life and twice as ugly. Agatha has a go at strangling him. James breaks off the engagement. So when Jimmy is found murdered next day, Agatha and James are both the prime suspects. And they'll have to work together in order to clear their names . . .

If it wasn't for Penelope Keith as narrator, I wouldn't have got far into this. Agatha Raisin is one of the most unlikeable characters I've ever come across. I won't be listening to any more of these.
