Why a Booktrail?
2000s: It can be hell in high water!
What you need to know before your trail
Drowned brides are like buses: nothing for ages, then two come along at the same time . . . ! Abandoned by husband James, Agatha hops on a plane to the South Pacific, hoping to mend her broken heart. But there she meets a happy honeymooning couple, for whom disaster strikes when, tragically, the bride drowns. Back home, alarm bells start ringing for Agatha when a woman, dressed in a wedding gown, is swept down river. The police say suicide, but Agatha, spurred on by recent memories, particularly her own disastrous marriage, sets out to prove them wrong.
Travel Guide
Agatha Raisin’s Cotswolds
Cotswolds – “Carsely”
Agatha Raisin lives in a fictional village – Carsely – in the Cotswolds but even though you can’t visit the village, there are plenty of places you can go and walk around as if you were Agatha herself. Just don’t get into quite the same trouble as her, will you?
Some ideas of places to visit:
Charlbury
This is a nice little village. Could it be Carsely?
Moreton in Marsh
This is the village where the “Books Yule Love “ bookshop is and where market day is. We can imagine Agatha popping in here! What a lovely name!
Evesham
This may be the place to go and find out more about the village whilst Agatha gets her hair done in the local hairdressers. The Evesham Road features in the novel.

Chipping Camden
This is the village where Agatha and James go for a spot of dinner. Try the Red Bull for real Cotswold charm!
