One of my favorites !
Very good story
I love Agatha Raisin, though this wasn‘t my favorite mystery. I didn‘t get the significance of the title.
Took a bit to get hooked, but really good! Suspenseful. Ending wasn‘t obvious.
Fate granted some people their wildest, greatest wishes while leaving the simplest pleas of others unanswered
“Life is a series of unlikely events, isn't it? Hers certainly is. One unlikely event after another, adding up to a rich, complicated whole. And who knows what's still to come?”

Ugly love becomes you. Consumes you. Makes you hate it all. Makes you realize that all the beautiful parts aren't even worth it. Without the beautiful, you'll never risk feeling the ugly. So you give it all up. You give it all up. You never want love again, no matter what kind it is, because no type of love will ever be worth living through the ugly love again.
It took awhile to get into, but I liked it. If Dolly Parton hadn‘t been listed as an author, I wouldn‘t have bought it.
