Book Overview
There is nothing more depressing for a middle-aged lovelorn woman with bald patches on her head than to find herself in an English seaside resort out of season. Agatha Raisin, her hair falling out after a run-in with a hairdresser-cum-murderess from a previous investigation, travels to an old-fashioned hotel in order to repair the damage away from the neighbors in her all-too-cozy Cotswolds village. Unhappy about the slow results and prompted by the elderly residents of the resort, she consults the local witch for help. Agatha purchases a hair tonic (and a love potion, just in case ) and is soon sprouting hairs and capturing the fancy of the village police inspector. But the quiet town is stunned by the murder of the witch. Which one of the graying guests is capable of such a brutal crime? The brassy yet endearing Agatha won't stop until she finds the culprit--and, of course, a little love, too.

What an interesting character Agatha is. And the books are such an easy read. Interesting plots, and not too violent. Read them all in order and watch Agatha grow and develop into a charming woman and a fine detective!

Agatha Goes To The Seashore
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Agatha Raisin is off and running - running away from home and the unrequited, unreturned love of her neighbor. She settles into a comfortable hotel in the seaside village of Fryham, to mend her heart and recover from a hair-raising experience. Here, Agatha confronts the next step after middle age, as well as finding herself in the middle of a murder investigation. Agatha plunges in with her usual abrasive style, winning hearts (the wrong ones, of course), making enemies (without even trying), misunderstood and misunderstanding, and never really knowing where exactly it is that she is headed. A terrifically terrifying prediction, a bottle of hair tonic and a love potion get Agatha in more trouble than she ever imagined. This 5-star cozy is sure to charm.
More enjoyable than the last installment

I enjoyed this book much more than the Wizard of Evesham. I agree with the previous comments that it is time for the James Lacey nonsense to be finished. I would love to see Ms. Beaton move Agatha forward and give her a little detective agency or ANYTHING to keep her from being a moonstruck middle aged eccentric that she is turning into.
frustratingly fun
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book was frustrating because Agatha kept doing idiotic things and making bad choices--just like a real person. For once I would like to see her do the right thing at the right time. And, please, get rid of Charles! Am I the only one who gnashes my teeth whenever he comes on the scene. Great book but I would like to see Agatha have a little happiness for a change.
