Synopsis
A set of compelling British whodunits featuring Detective Inspector Sloan—from a CWA Diamond Dagger winner and &“most ingenious&” author (The New Yorker). 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. These three entertaining crime novels offer &“the very best in British mystery&” (The New Yorker). 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.
