About book Stiff News (1999)

This is an enjoyable read - whether or not you have seen the television series. I received a free copy of this book for review purposes from NetGalley. have been reading Catherine Aird's books for many years and have enjoyed all of them. I think Sloan and Crosby have to be one of the most amusing duos in crime fiction. Crosby is always catching the reader out as well as Sloan because even though many of his utterances are superfluous every so often he hits the nail on the head and provides the inspiration which solves the case.In this book Crosby's dubious driving skills are needed to help Sloan stop a funeral so that a post mortem can be carried out on the corpse who believed someone would murder her. The book is mainly set in a retirement home allowing the author free rein with the eccentric characters. The writing is as ever amusing with plenty of irony and little asides from Sloan about what he would have liked to say in the circumstances presented to him.If you enjoy cosy crime novels then try Catherine Aird. The series can be read in any order.
