Catherine Aird is one of my favorite authors; I've read all of her books at least once. However, I've been having a hard time finding this particular book that is a group of short stories by la Aird. Some of these stories have just a very few pages and some are longer. Some are about the 16th century and others are of more recent vintage.

Detective Inspector Sloan and his loyal partner, DC Crosby, are alive-and-well in some of these stories. One of my favorite quips, when Sloan decides not to contradict his boss, he reminds the readers that 'he's having a care for his pension.' These stories show just how extraordinary the author's knowledge of Anglican Church history, Shakespeare, the Bible, ancient English history really is. She's often witty and always intelligent in the cases she persues with the reader.
