Product Description

James Lacey wandered over to the window of his hotel room. His fiancée, Felicity, was asleep. He was feeling some twinges of unease. What he loved about Felicity was the way she looked at him with her large eyes, appearing to drink in every word. But on the plane journey, he wondered if she were listening to him. The order to charge was given, said James, and a spaceship landed in the valley and some little green men got out. Fascinating, breathed Felicity. You weren’t listening! Just tired, darling. What were you saying? James heard a commotion down below the hotel. He opened the window and leaned out. A woman had tripped and fallen getting into a cab. He only got a glimpse but he was suddenly sure the woman was Agatha. A familiar voice rose on the Crimean air, Snakes and bastards! Bossy, impulsive, yet hopelessly romantic, Agatha is dreading the upcoming marriage of her ex-husband, James Lacey. Although she has set her sights on a handsome and beguiling new Frenchman, she can’t quite stop obsessing about James. Her best intentions to move on with her life are put on hold when James’s young bride is shot to death just minutes before saying I do, and Agatha is named the prime suspect. Agatha’s sleuthing sidekick Toni stands ready to help find the real killer, but the case proves trickier than ever. Will her name be cleared, or has the outrageous Agatha finally had her last romp?

4.0étoiles sur 5 Agatha Pines, Fusses, Detects, Dodges, Sulks, and Tries New Romance, Nov. 21 2009
"Yet man is born to trouble,
As the sparks fly upward."

--Job 5:7

There Goes the Bride nicely summarizes the frustrations of being an unattached fifty-year-old who craves romance and is beginning to doubt herself. Most novels write about such characters through lots of psychological Sturm und Drang. M.C. Beaton takes a better route by putting lots of action together so we can deduce Agatha Raisin's inner turmoil through her whirling dervish imitations. In fact, I don't recall another mystery in the series that has as much action as this one . . . a rarity in a cozy.

Although Agatha knows that James Lacey isn't right for her (after all, he divorced her by pretending he wanted to become a monk), she's galled by James being engaged to the beautiful, young, and adoring Felicity Bross-Tilkington. James has told Agatha that he appreciates Felicity's interest in his military history writing. Agatha has always been bored stiff by the same. Ever curious (and you know what happened to the curious cat), she takes two trips to look into military history with some humorous consequences. Along the way, she hopes to snag someone of interest, but doesn't get anywhere.

Back in England, the wedding of her ex looms. Agatha is very uncomfortable, and James doesn't make matters any better by confiding that he's tiring of Felicity . . . who only seems to be pretending to be interested in him. As the festivities near, something's definitely off. Before Agatha can figure out what's going on, there's a corpse and Agatha is suspect numero uno. Now, she has to get to the bottom of things.

Romance isn't Agatha's only problem. The detective agency doesn't really thrill her anymore, even after Toni Gilmour returns to the firm . . . making detecting easier . . . if less satisfying. Agatha alternates between being jealous of Felicity and Toni.

As the detection swings into high gear, Agatha finds herself playing a more deadly game than she's anticipated. Let an attractive man drop by, and she flies like a moth towards the flame. Could that tendency be fatal to our Agatha?

Those who love to see Agatha squirm will have plenty to please them with this book. Readers who instead would like Agatha to gain some peace will be deeply disturbed as she dangles, almost defenselessly, in the winds of rancor.

The book's main weakness is that Agatha's angst seems overdone. She is too capable at her core to behave in such a silly fashion all the time. As a result, that aspect of the story won't ring true. She also inspires a nemesis who also seems exaggerated in his desire to do her in. If you can enjoy both aspects as being satirical, it's definitely an above-average character study filled with action and humor.

Keep laughing, especially at your own foibles! It makes life more fun.
