There goes the bride - M. C. Beaton

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 fiance 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!'
