Mrs. Malory and Death in Practice — Hazel Holt

Dr. Doolittle he's not. In fact, the new veterinarian in town, Dr. Malcolm Hardy, hardly has any kennel-side manner at all. His patients squirm and bark in his presence--and the humans in this quiet, English town don't fancy him, either. Even genial Mrs. Malory can't find a redeeming bone in his body. So when the vet turns up dead, a whole roster of townspeople--each with a grudge--are suspects. But leave it to the irrepressible Mrs. Malory to get to the bottom of this--and find who really sent Hardy to the big dog pound in the sky.
