Publisher's Summary

Abandoned by new husband James, Agatha Raisin hops on a plane to the South Pacific in the hope that an idyllic holiday will bring some consolation. There, she befriends a honeymooning couple, but tragically, the young bride is accidentally drowned. Returning home to the Cotswolds, Agatha finds herself involved in a strangely similar situation: a woman, dressed in a wedding gown, is found floating in the river. The police say suicide, but Agatha, spurred on by bitter reflections on the married state, sets out to prove them wrong.

Penelope Keith saves the day.

I was disappointed with this story after listening to the Terrible Tourist which I found very enjoyable. Personally, I found this story boring, the highlight could have been the trips to Robinson Crusoe Island but that aspect was strangely lacking. Penelope Keith did a great job with the many similar voices she had to portray but I wish Roy had been more like he was portrayed in The Potted Gardener dramatisation. It would have added humour to the story.

old fashioned mystery.

I enjoy these stories because they're fairly simple and relaxing to listen to. Always enjoy Penelope's audio performance as well.
