The seventeenth installment in the beloved Agatha Raisin series. Agatha Raisin thinks she's in for a treat when her ex-husband James Lacey invites her on a seaside vacation; but to Agatha's horror, James' idea of a holiday destination is a small, rundown town called Snoth-on-Sea. And when a woman staying in the same hotel as Agatha and James is murdered, Agatha's notoriously prickly demeanor soon gets her into trouble--as she's quite quickly pegged as the prime suspect. If Agatha can't solve the murder in time, she'll be meddling in all her future cases from the inside of a prison cell!
