Medical Mystery a la Catherine Aird

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.
