A deadly mystery by CWA Diamond Dagger winner Catherine Aird: where there’s a will, there’s a way - for murder

That Miss Beatrice Wansdyke had died is not particularly surprising. A chemistry mistress at the Girls’ Grammar School in Berebury, she was a longtime sufferer of diabetes who managed to live her modest life to a ripe old age. But one thing is odd - Beatrice Wansdyke died a very wealthy woman. What was an old schoolteacher doing with a small fortune?

Meanwhile, Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan, Calleshire’s finest investigator, learns he is about to become a father. But with ominous players hell-bent on pursuing Miss Wansdyke’s money, will Sloan live to see his child’s first birthday?

Catherine Aird writes smart, funny, and altogether ingenious cozy mysteries, and this was no exception. Also, it was very ably read by Derek Perkins. BTW, although this was published in 1979, it holds up pretty well ... and she is still writing!

Another ingenious mystery!

The story line is delightful with the addition of Detective Sloan’s baby on the way. The mystery is intricately woven though the story & I didn’t guess the perpetrator. The performance by Derek Perkins is excellently done, bringing characters to life better than any other narrator.

My favorite Aird novel on Audible!

This one didn’t fit the rest (so far) in how the characters usually behave. Crosby and Lees (sp?) were smarter than usual, and Sloane was a bit of a dingbat, comparatively.

The mystery was good, the narrator was great.
I am absolutely continuing on.

A little disappointing, but still good
