Beaton has delighted readers and fans alike with her Agatha Raisin mysteries. Now here is the second novel in the series that started it all...A PURR-FECT CRIME IN THE COTSWOLDSFormer London PR agent, Agatha Raisin still hasn't adjusted to village life where the only prospect for a hot evening out is a meeting of the Ladies Society. And since her overtures toward James Lacey-the retired military man next door-have failed, Agatha jumps at the chance to visit the new vet, who's single and good-looking. Although Agatha's tabby hasn't a thing wrong with him, Hodge endures having a thermometer shoved up his bum in the name of romance. Unfortunately his sacrifice is all for naught when the vet is soon found dead next to a high-strung horse.The police call the vet's demise a freak accident, but Agatha convinces the hard-to-get James Lacey, who's also bored in the Cotswolds, that playing amateur detective might be fun. Unfortunately, just like curiosity killed the cat, Agatha's inept snooping is soon a motivation for murder.... "Anyone interested in a few hours' worth of intelligent, amusing reading will want to make the acquaintance of Mrs. Agatha Raisin."The Cleveland Plain Dealer"I simply love mysteries that have all the requirements necessary to make them great-the characters, the action, the plots, and that thing we call humanity. Beaton has them all inspades."Tulsa World 1927997 1993 The Vicious Vet (Agatha Raisin Mystery, Book 2) total:457|5:71|4:172|3:178|2:29|1:7| 457 1642 558 43 4 0 false false Sun Sep 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 07:37:59 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 04:50:11 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jul 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 01:37:06 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 01:43:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Jul 24 09:21:59 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 06 18:52:16 -0700 2008 1 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 17:07:52 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 18 18:33:08 -0800 2009 Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death, amusing enough to get the second adventure from the library.
