À propos de la quatrième de couverture

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
