CHAPTER AND HEARSE AND OTHER MYSTERIES by CATHERINE AIRD
|
SummaryA wealthy businessman has died under suspicious
circumstances. A Christmas with the family provides more
drama than could be expected. A girl accuses the hospital
of killing her grandmother. In 16th Century Scotland, the
death of a clansman is not what it first appears.
From the investigations of Inspector C. D. Sloan and his
enthusiastic, all-too-constant, but not very helpful
sidekick Constable Crosby of the Calleshire C.I.D. to the
travails of Henry Tyler of the Foreign Office, from the
mysterious Malcolm Venables of the Secret Service to
Sheriff Rhuaraidh Macmillan of 16th century Scotland,
Catherine Aird's latest collection of literate, delightful
tales takes the reader through the full range of crime and
punishment. Aird's mix of deft plotting, charming wit, and
clever writing has made her one of the most engaging and
enduring traditional crime writers. In her latest volume,
all of her considerable gifts as a storyteller are on
display.
