Overview

Una autora a la altura de Agatha Christie. Una detective a la altura de Miss Marple.

Una serie con todo el misterio, el humor y el countryside británicos.

Tras haber desenmascarado al asesino de la quiche letal, la fortuna parece sonreír a Agatha Raisin. Aceptada por la pintoresca comunidad de Carsely, y felizmente acompañada de sus dos gatos, su vida transcurre sin otro objetivo que doblegar la indiferencia de James Lacey, militar jubilado por el que Agatha siente verdadera devoción.

Un interés que parece evaporarse cuando aparece en escena Paul Bladen, el nuevo veterinario del pueblo, que no se muestra ajeno a sus encantos. Sin embargo, el hombre sucumbe a una inyección destinada a un caballo de carreras, y aunque todo apunta a un accidente, Agatha cree que se trata de un crimen. Ante la sorpresa de los lugareños, el coronel Lacey comparte, por una vez, la hipótesis de su tenaz vecina, hasta el punto de embarcarse con ella en una investigación mucho más peligrosa de lo que ambos habrían podido imaginar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Vicious Vet continues the tradition in M. C. Beaton's beloved Agatha Raisin cozy mystery series—now a hit show on Acorn TV and public television.

A PURR-FECT CRIME IN THE COTSWOLDS

Former 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...
