Love, Lies and Liquor
M. C. Beaton [Beaton, M. C.]
Agatha Raisin is lonely. Busy as she is with her detective agency and
the meetings of the Carsely Ladies' Society, she still misses her
ex-husband, James Lacey, so she welcomes his return to the cottage next
door with her usual triumph of optimism over experience---especially
when he invites her on holiday at a surprise location that was once very
dear to him. With visions of a romantic hideaway in Italy or the
Pacific dancing in her head, Agatha goes off happily with James
to...Snoth-on-Sea, in Sussex.
While James may have fond memories of
boyhood holidays there, Snoth-on-Sea has seen better days, as has the
once-grand Palace Hotel, now run-down and tacky and freezing cold. Nor

honeymoon couple, Mr. and Mrs. Jankers, who pick a fight with Agatha in
the dining room. But trouble has a way of following Agatha even if
