Agatha lets sleeping vets lie...

Retired PR boss Agatha Raisin is enjoying life in her pretty Cotswold 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 she must once more play amateur investigator. And this cloud has a silver lining - she can persuade her usually stand-offish neighbour, James Lacey, to become her partner in the quest. As usual, Agatha is quite prepared to rush in, heedless of the lurking menace to both James and herself.

Praise for the Agatha Raisin series:

'Agatha is like Miss Marple with a drinking problem, pack-a-day habit and major man lust. I think she may be living my dream life.' Entertainment Weekly

'Clever red herrings and some wicked unfinished business guarantees that the listener will pant for a sequel.' The Times Audiobook Review

Product description

Review

Beaton's dry sense of humour and her unflattering but affectionate portrait of gruff, often adolescent-acting Agatha makes this . . . a bloom worth plucking. - Publishers Weekly

Sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining. . . M C Beaton has created a national treasure. - Anne Robinson

It's been said of Agatha Christie that she's given more pleasure in bed than any other woman, but M.C. Beaton is matching her as a prolific purveyor of cosy whodunits perfect for pre-lights out reading ... like Midsummer Murders but with wit and a bit of edge.' - Telegraph on Sunday

Easy, cosy crime

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 March 2016

Verified Purchase

I have recently got into reading 'cosy crime', as light reading after a day reading law books! Although I don't entirely like the character Agatha Raisin, the books have the right attributes for easy reading. In this one, Agatha Raisin, retired-from-the-ratrace former P.R. expert, who settled into a little Cotswold village only to find that there are almost as many murders as if she had moved to Midsomer, checks out the handsome new vet who has opened up in the village - until he is murdered, that is. Accompanied by her neighbour, James (who often seems to do more of the detective work than she does) she sets out to find the murderer. As with Midsomer Murders, however, this is not the last murder in the story. Easy reading of exactly the right type to relax with - not challenging, not intellectual, just cosy. Not for everyone, but I like them!.

Comme si comme ca

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 September 2018

I enjoy the light heartedness of these “crime mysteries”, but they aren’t crime fiction as I’ve read it before. They are a sunnier version and sometimes so light hearted as to be a bit trite. The crimes always have unusual outcomes, even if a bit tenuous as was this particular book. They are a nice read for women who do not like the seedier and bloody versions of crime fiction. I may not read every next one in the series, but I will read some more.

Agatha Raisin and the Vicious Vet

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 June 2013

Verified Purchase

This is the second in the Agatha Raisin series, following on from Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death . Agatha Raisin is an oddly compelling character; a strange mix of the downright rude and the vulnerable. When we meet Agatha in this book, she has just returned from a holiday where she had attempted, unsuccessfully, to follow her handsome neighbour - only to find that on her return to the village of Carsely, there is a new vet causing fluttering hearts.

As in the previous novel, Agatha seems unsure about whether to return to her advertising career in London or stay in Carsely; at one point, rushing off to investigate a possible business venture, which turns out to be a desperate attempt from an old business acquaintance to make her part with money. Back in the Cotswolds, the new vet, Paul Bladen, is also trying to raise money from his female clients - including Agatha. When he is found dead, Agatha suspects murder. Despite her old friend Bill Wong, from the police department, telling her to leave such investigations to the authorities, she is soon asking dangerous questions - with the added bonus of the company of her neighbour, James Lacey.

The next book in this series is Agatha Raisin and the Potted Gardener . These books are a fun, easy read, and I enjoyed getting to know the inhabitants of Carsley better. This book will sometimes make you cringe and possibly laugh, but Agatha Raisin certainly has a legion of fans that enjoy following her adventures.

Agatha Raisin and the Vicious Vet

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2011

A new vet - Paul Bladen - moves into Carsley and all the women suddenly discover something wrong with their pets. Agatha Raisin is pleased to be invited to a restaurant by the attractive vet. But he fails to turn up and when she phones him a woman answers claiming to be his wife.

When Bladen is found dead after what appears to be a tragic accident Agatha thinks she can draw a line under the unfortunate business until someone else is found dead and she finds herself once more involved in an investigation with her attractive neighbour, James Lacey.

I enjoyed this fast paced story in which Agatha makes too many assumptions but eventually manages to stumble across the truth and put herself in danger in the process. I like Agatha because she isn't a perfect person. She is irritable, can't cook, is hopeless at housework, battles with her weight, falls in love - or lust - at the drop of a hat and suffers agonies over where her impetuosity has led her. In spite of all those faults, she is kind hearted and throws herself into anything she attempts. This is the second book in the series.

Light reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 October 2020

Verified Purchase

Agatha is not a lovable lady, though she does have her vulnerable moments. Still I find myself enjoying her adventures and hoping that she and James may get together in the future. Very light reading, ideal for bedtime.
