Agatha Raisin and the Murderous Marriage (Agatha Raisin #5)
by M.C. Beaton - 1/5
There are three reasons why I think this book does not merit one star. The beginning, the shortness of the book, and the lateness of the divulging of the culprit. However there are a couple of reasons why I am giving it the lowest score...Goodwill from other books in the series wasted, waste of opportunity for not taking advantage of the superb opening few paragraphs, bringing James and Agatha back to square one as if nothing has happened. I also think that the dreary, boring investigation of the book, which already feels like a tired 20th entry in the series, plus the lack of brains throughout damned the book as a failure. My patience is wearing thin with the series and if the next 3 books don't deliver I'm through with it.
