I read all the Sayers novels when I was in college (not for college, just at that time) and recently decided that a re-reading was called for. Lord Peter, and the novels that feature him, are clever and dry and just when you know where you are headed they shift a bit and take you somewhere else.
So far I have re-read Whose Body, Clouds of Witness, and Unnatural Death. I didn't review the last one because all I really had to say about it was Wow! Dorthy Sayers!

Went through a Sayers phase and read most of her books!
ReplyDeleteI have read all of Sayers books, re-read a couple of the first. I would like to find time to re-read them all also.
ReplyDeleteI've think the only Wimsey book I've read is a short story which I thoroughly enjoyed. I'm not sure why that never translated to the rest of the canon but I believe that needs to be rectified fairly soon. Thanks for reminding me. :)
