Catherine Aird is the best for witty, good-spirited, and classic rural British mystery--my absolute favorite!
ANNA S. (SanJoseCa) reviewed Some Die Eloquent (Detective Inspector Sloan, Bk 8) on + 328 more book reviews
Follow Inspector Slone as he uncovers why a healthy spinster is dead at 59 and how she got a quarter of a million pounds in her bank account on her modest income? And most importantly, (for me anyway, LOL!)where is her little dog!?! This is a fun guessing game to the end. British mystery readers will love this one!
Catherine Aird is back in form with this whodunnit. The humor is fast and furious. Sloan's wife is going to have a baby and Sloan would rather face villains rather than face the maternity floor of his local hospital. The case of an older chemistry teacher dying with a huge fortune resting in her bank account keeps Sloan and Crosby busy while Margaret Sloan delivers her first-born. 4.5 starsÂ
