About

A set of compelling British whodunits featuring Detective Inspector Sloan-from a CWA Diamond Dagger winner. Over the course of twenty-four crime novels set in the fictional County of Calleshire, England, and featuring the sleuthing team of shrewd Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan and his less-than-shrewd sidekick, Detective Constable William Crosby, award-winning author Catherine Aird maintained the perfect balance between cozy village mystery and police procedural. Parting Breath: On the campus of the University of Calleshire, a young woman finds a student slumped against a cloister's column, covered in blood. Before he dies, he manages to breathe the words "twenty-six minutes"-which is all Sloan and Crosby have to go on to solve a case that's anything but elementary. Some Die Eloquent: As Sloan learns he is about to become a father, a suspicious death demands his attention. It turns out that a murdered mistress at the Girls' Grammar School in Berebury was secretly a very wealthy woman. What was an elderly chemistry teacher doing with a small fortune-and who was willing to kill to get it? Passing Strange: When the village spinster, a nurse who also played the organ every Sunday at church, is found strangled behind a fortune-teller's booth, Calleshire's greatest detective will need more than a crystal ball to see who killed her.
