  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

  The feisty Agatha Raisin, unitl recentlya London public-relations executive, believes that the attractive new village vet has taken a shine to her. Yet before romance can bloom, Dr Paul Bladen accidently kills himself under suspicious circumstances while attending to Lord Pendlebury's horse. Oh well, for Agatha there's still her distinguished neighbour, James Lacey, a retired military man who's been playing hard to get. Perhaps they may get chummier as they share a common interest, like a murder investigation. Though numerous village ladies are devestated by Dr Bladen's death, other people- including his divorced wife- feel its good ridance. All agree, however, that Agatha would be well advised to let sleeping dogs lie- before someone else meets death by accident...
