Title: "Some die wholly in half a breath-"
Product review: This book starts with a three-line verse by Rudyard Kipling (Some Die Eloquent), and it is a very good way to describe the death that Sloan is faced with in this book. A lady with life-threatening diabetes is found dead in her home. That doesn't look so suspicious until it is discovered that this quiet chemistry teacher has 3/4 of a million pounds in her bank account. This puts Sloan and Crosby on the tail of a murderer. The book is quite fast-paced for a Catherine Aird, and there is a fair amount of tension throughout. This is certainly aided by the impending birth of Sloan's baby and the needs that his family situation put on him. But never fear, he's there for the arrest of the murderer, and he makes it in time for the birth of his son. A good entry in the Sloan series.
