Snakes and Ladders Progress Update: Roll #11
There Goes the Bride (Agatha Raisin #20) - M.C. Beaton,Penelope Keith

Woohoo!  I finally landed on a ladder! Tossing two dice gave me a nine which took me to square #68. I was a little fuzzy about how the ladders work, so I just went ahead and chose books to meet the prompts for both the bottom and top squares. I couldn't find a cover on my TBR that had something related to weddings, though, so I perused my library's Hoopla offerings and selected "There Goes the Bride" by M.C. Beaton. This is the 20th book in Beaton's long running Agatha Raisin series, and while I've only read a half dozen or so of the early titles, I've also watched the recent TV adaptation and didn't have a problem slipping back into the setting and characters.  Unfortunately it wasn't a strong entry in the series.  The story felt really disjointed, and a lot of filler had also been added. Penelope Keith's narration was the only bright spot.
