Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

In this latest Detective Inspector Sloan procedural, Sloan investigates the deaths of an elderly woman who took part in a drug test and the unexpected suicide of a doctor connected with the test. Quality writing from a practiced hand.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Booklist

Aird brings back the wry Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan, who is contending, as usual, with Colonel Blimp^-like Superintendent Leeyes and the captious Detective Constable Crosby. This time, the death in the local hospital of an extremely ill patient seems unremarkable until the son, dissatisfied with her care, insists on an investigation, and an anonymous phone call to the police suggests that the drug trial the patient was participating in was very dangerous indeed, if not deadly. When the doctor conducting the trial also turns up dead shortly thereafter, an apparent suicide, Sloan mournfully foregoes his weekend to learn about double-blind trials, medical ethics, and the interesting private life of the deceased doctor. Another humorous variation on the British police procedural delivered with the author's usual panache. Stuart Miller

4.0 out of 5 stars Medical Mystery a la Catherine Aird, Jan 21 2004
By S. Schwartz "romonko" (alberta canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: After Effects (Hardcover)
It was a joy to read a medical mystery by the incomparable Ms. Aird. She is a "dab hand" at all types of mysteries, and in this book she turns her attention to an English medical thriller. As with all her books, this one is sharp, clear and concise. Her sense of humour and her excellent mastery of the English language are both apparent in this book. The book is about a series of medical deaths (not that surprising since the patients were elderly and quite sick), but then one of the doctor's is found murdered. Sloan and Crosby follow a whole bunch of sub plots and threads before they can unmask the killer, but before they do that more people seem to die. This is a lively and intelligent book.
