I have Catherine Aird on my list of people to read.

I would recommend the first of the Sloane series which is The Religious Body. That should give you an idea of if you like Sloane & Crosby or not. And if you do, I really recommend any of the audiobooks with Robin Bailey as narrator. He did the first five or six in the series. That one or Dead Liberty or The Stately Home Murder or A Late Phoenix. I am not a huge fan (of the early ones) of Henrietta Who?
