Entertainment WeeklySea sand - and the slammer for Agatha! Agatha Raisin thinks she's in for a
treat when her ex-husband James Lacey invites her on holiday but - horrors! - his idea of an
idyllic break is the small run-down resort of Burryhill-on-Sea. And from there on things go
from bad to worse so when a fellow guest in their hotel is found murdered Agatha herself is
chief suspect - and has to solve this case from a locked police cell!
