2000s: Love, like hell, is a four-letter word for Agatha . . .
No happily ever after for her! Recently married to neighbour James Lacey, Agatha quickly finds that love is not all it’s cracked up to be – soon the newly-weds are living in separate cottages and accusing each other of infidelity. Then, after a fight down the local pub, James vanishes – a bloodstain the only clue to his fate. Naturally, Agatha is Suspect Number One. Determined to clear her name – and find her husband – Agatha begins her investigation and promptly discovers a murdered mistress . .
Agatha Raisin lives in a fictional village – Carsely – in the Cotswolds but even though you can’t visit the village, there are plenty of places you can go and walk around as if you were Agatha herself. Just don’t get into quite the same trouble as her, will you?
Some ideas of places to visit:
This is a nice little village. Could it be Carsely?
This is the village where the “Books Yule Love “ bookshop is and where market day is. We can imagine Agatha popping in here! What a lovely name!
This may be the place to go and find out more about the village whilst Agatha gets her hair done in the local hairdressers. The Evesham Road features in the novel.
