This was by far my least favorite book in the series that I’ve read so far. I’ve praised the series for the humor, and there was not a laugh in the book. I’ve also praised the quirky cast of characters and this book had no likable characters at all. Agatha made one bad decision after another and just seemed to feel sorry for herself over and over again. She lost her fire. James acted like an unfeeling idiot. Charles

Spoiler

was the least objectionable character in the book. While selfish he at least seems to like Agatha and was a little protective of her.

But the main thing the book was missing was the Cotswolds, the oppressive heat of Cyprus and the feeling of being trapped on the island while the investigation dragged out.

And this installment Agatha heads off to Cyprus....
After the marriage that wasn't, Agatha heads to Cyprus to look for James... where she meets up with a group of terrible tourists... of course the tourist start getting killed, because well, Agatha is present... James and she finally meet up, and start once again solving the murders.... and Agatha does a really stupid thing, with a different man... Agatha and James really need to work on their communication skills....

mysterious

This felt hastily written, like something straight off the conveyor belt at the writing factory. Much of the "story" was excerpts from a travel guidebook.
This story didn't age well.
