From AudioFile:
Golden Handcuffs Award winner Catherine Aird is considered to be one of the most talented English mystery writers of our time. Edward Raleigh is a British performer well suited for these conventional mysteries. Whether portraying a prominent scientist, a young widow or a tactless cockney detective, Raleigh is convincing and authentic. Most entertaining are his female interpretations. Each of the English women has a unique personality with a humorous eccentric twist. Raleigh's distinctive British flair provides the appropriate gusto to accompany these clever tales. B.J.P.

From Publishers Weekly:
These 16 clever short puzzlers by the accomplished British author will serve as an excellent introduction to new readers and be a sure delight to fans. Most center around the investigations and acute observations of Berebury Detective Inspector Sloan. Like Agatha Christie, Aird (A Going Concern) specializes in classic puzzles with ingenious, yet logical, surprise endings. In "Memory Corner," a professor says he killed a student who had developed a way to read another's memory, a discovery that would signal, he says, "the end of all investigative and judicial processes." Skeptical, Sloan determines another reason for the young man's death. A few stories star Foreign Officer Henry Tyler, who solves cases for beleaguered friends and family members. Featuring neither Sloan nor Tyler is the satisfying "Devilled Dip," about an unlucky thief's inadvertant good deed.
