Publisher's Synopsis
'The writing is easy and fluid; dry wit and irony lurk on every page' THE SUNDAY TIMES Malcolm Hardy - tall, good-looking and rich - seems the ideal person to rescue Taviscombe's failing veterinary practice, but within a few weeks he has upset most of the town. His investment means he's in charge, and he makes many unpopular changes. As far as amateur sleuth Sheila Malory is concerned, there is nothing to like about the new vet. When he collapses at the surgery, and the post-mortem reveals his death was unnatural, suspicion falls on his former colleagues - but had he a wider circle of enemies with murder in mind?
