From the Back Cover:

Critical Praise for Catherine Aird

“Written with Catherine Aird’s characteristic brisk wit...the knotty plot is sufficiently tangled that it’s a pleasure watching Sloan unravel it.” —Orlando Sentinel on Stiff News

“There are serious issues at the root of the plot but Aird’s touch is as lightly comic as her plot is deftly cunning.” —Jon L. Breen, Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine on Stiff News

“A mystery as solid as any Inspector Sloan has ever encountered. A well-plotted resolution and a solid tale.” —Chicago Sun-Times on A Going Concern

“Another lively adventure.... For those who like quiet British procedurals, with the emphasis more on wit and sly turns of phrase than on mean streets, Aird’s series is sure to please.” —Booklist on Little Knell

“Intricate, witty, and thoroughly delightful...a literate, surprising treat.” —Publishers Weekly on A Going Concern (starred review)

“Quality writing from a practiced hand.” —Library Journal on After Effects

“Witty and clever.” —Des Moines Register on A Going Concern
