«Slight Mourning» is the mystery novel by Catherine Aird, published by Corgi in paperback (192 pages, in English).
Inspector C. D. Sloan investigates the death of William Fent, host of a dinner at Strontfield Park, who dies in a traffic accident that same night. The autopsy reveals that the victim had also ingested poison, so the eleven surviving guests become suspects in a murder that did not seem like one.
Sixth instalment of the Inspector Sloan series (The Calleshire Chronicles); the work was first published in 1975.
For fans of classic British detective fiction and poisoning puzzles.
Kinn Hamilton McIntosh, known professionally as Catherine Aird, was an English novelist. She was the author of more than twenty crime fiction novels and several collections of short stories. Her witty, literate, and deftly plotted novels straddle the "cozy", "traditional" and "police procedural" genres and are somewhat similar in flavour to those of Martha Grimes, Caroline Graham, M. C. Beaton, Margaret Yorke, and Pauline Bell. Aird was inducted into the prestigious Detection Club in 1981, and is a recipient of the 2015 Cartier Diamond Dagger award.
