Amendment of Life: A Mystery

Rating:
Summary: Murder in a maze!
Review: Catherine Aird's longevity in the mystery writing genre is explained by this book. She's been writing her CD Sloan mysteries for years, and in this, her most recent addition to the series, she still has all her skills intact. She write mysteries that intelligent, erudite and slyly funny. In this one a body of a woman is found dead in front of a statue right smack in the middle of a maze. Sloan and Crosby first have to determine whether she died by her own hand or did someone else speed her to her death? Then they have to figure out how she could have been brought into the middle of this very difficult maze. And how do a dead rabbit and a missing goat from quite a few mile away tie in with their mystery? I am a huge fan of Catherine Aird, and this book is as elegant and mischievious as any of the the preceeding books in her Sloan/Crosby series.
