More Sherlock Holmes Than James Herriot: The Veterinary Detectives - Hardcover

'There are certainly elements of Sherlock Holmes and of James Herriot in this book, but the strongest, and inimitable, ingredient is that provided by Roger himself.' --The Veterinary Record

'Touching and hilarious, keeping the most animal-averse reader enthralled.' --Scots Magazine

Roger Windsor s stories of life as, first, a naive student at vet school, then as a junior vet in general practice, and finally as a senior member of the Veterinary Investigation Service running a laboratory in Africa, certainly give James Herriot a run for his money. His vignettes of animal woe and human frailty have enduring appeal, and the story of setting up such a valuable service in Botswana, and helping to build that country s agricultural and forensic veterinary resources, is truly fascinating. With his particular talent for veterinary detective work and more general eye for a character sketch and a tall tale, Windsor will keep even the most animal-averse readers turning the pages of this hilarious and touching autobiography.
