Better Dead

Agnes Carmichael #18

by Ms Anthea Cohen

When Agnes Turner is witness to a rape, she goes for the assailant with a knife - with fatal consequences. The victim repays Agnes by blackmailing her, and when Agnes refuses her demands she kidnaps her beloved Jack Russell terrier. Agnes faces the prospect of committing yet another crime to secure the safe return of her dog.

But then another death occurs . . .

In this, the 18th in the Agnes Turner mysteries, Anthea Cohen remains the mistress of the icy touch.

[Kim Campbell · Rating 2 out of 5]

There are a few things about this book that quite annoyed me. One was they way in which Agnes deals with the 'criminal' or one of them I should say. Two, we are told that when she last lived on the Isle of Wight Agnes lived in a flat, she didn't. She lived in a house next door to Bill Turner, the man that would become her husband. As usual there were quite a few spelling mistakes as well.
