With Devil’s Delight, R.W. Green continues the tradition of M.C. Beaton’s Agatha Raisin series with Agatha’s dive into an investigation of a disappearing and reappearing body at a naturist (nudist) retreat. She is bound and determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, whatever layers she needs to strip away.
I enjoyed the return of Agatha and her friends, along with a few new ones. The mystery is good, with a lot of fun situations and lines around the awkwardness of the “prudes” around the “nudes.” Agatha definitely has her work cut out for her as she navigates through this eccentric world of exposed skin and concealed secrets.
“Ridiculous!” Wilkes barked. “Bodies do not simply evaporate like water!”
