Agatha Raisin And The Vicious Vet - Plot & Excerpts
She felt an utter fool as she pushed her load of luggage towards the exit. She had just spent two weeks in the Bahamas in pursuit of her handsome neighbour, James Lacey, who had let fall that he was going to holiday there at the Nassau Beach Hotel. Agatha in pursuit of a man was as ruthless as she had been in business. She had spent a great deal of money on a fascinating wardrobe, had slimmed furiously so as to be able to sport her rejuvenated middle-aged figure in a bikini, but there had been no sign of James Lacey. She had hired a car and toured the other hotels on the island to no avail. She had even called at the British High Commission in the hope they had heard of him. A few days before she was due to return, she had put a long-distance call through to Carsely, the village in the Cotswolds in which she lived, to the vicar’s wife, Mrs Bloxby, and had finally got around to asking for the whereabouts of James Lacey. She still remembered Mrs Bloxby’s voice, strengthening and fading on a bad line, as if borne towards Agatha on the tide.
