Agatha Raisin and the Vicious Vet
(Author) M.C. BeatonBest let sleeping vets lie... Retired PR supremo Agatha Raisin is enjoying life in her pretty Cotswolds village of Carsely. It even seems likely that the attractive new vet, Paul Bladen, has taken a shine to her. But before romance can blossom Paul is killed in an accident with Lord Pendlebury's horse. Only the circumstances are rather suspicious... Agatha decides that once again she must play amateur sleuth. And this cloud has a silver lining as she persuades her usually standoff-ish neighbour, James Lacey, to become her partner in the quest. But as always, Agatha is quite prepared to rush in, heedless of the lurking menace to both James... and herself. Praise for the Agatha Raisin series: 'Agatha Raisin - sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining, delightfully intolerant and oh so magnificently non-PC. M.C. Beaton has created a national treasure' Anne Robinson 'Agatha is like Miss Marple with a drinking problem, a pack-a-day habit and major man lust. In fact, I think she could be living my dream life' Entertainment Weekly
