Though she tries to wall herself off from the world, one determined man breaks through her defenses—successful attorney Ryan Cornell.

Agatha Raisin is lonely.

Busy as she is with her detective agency and the meetings of the Carsely Ladies’ Society, she still misses her ex-husband, James Lacey, so she welcomes his return to the cottage next door with her usual triumph of optimism over experience – especially when he invites her on holiday at a surprise location that was once very dear to him. With visions of a romantic hideaway in Italy or the Pacific dancing in her head, Agatha goes off happily with James to…Snoth-on-Sea, in Sussex.

While James may have fond memories of boyhood holidays there, Snoth-on-Sea has seen better days, as has the once-grand Palace Hotel, now run-down and tacky and freezing cold. Nor do the other guests have much to recommend them, especially the brassy honeymoon couple, Mr. and Mrs. Jankers, who pick a fight with Agatha in the dining room. But trouble has a way of following Agatha even if romance does not: Just as she and James are preparing to flee to warmer climes, Geraldine Jankers is found dead on the beach – strangled with Agatha’s scarf. So much for Agatha’s holiday fantasies:

Not only is it time to put her detective skills to work, but the police are not even sure that she’ll be allowed to leave town…

Lissa, is a nurse in a gritty, hectic London neighborhood.

But these two strangers are now in constant contact, taking over each other’s patients, endlessly emailing about anything and everything.

But that same day, Joel dropped a bombshell: he wanted a break from their marriage.

Searching for an escape, Beth found an ad for an apartment in Rome, available for three months rental only with certain conditions. Veronica, the 75-year-old owner, challenges her guests to rediscover themselves, find joy, and live life to the full – in the most beautiful city in the world.
