Pretty obvious from the start who the villain was, but entertaining just the same.

Listened to the audiobook - thoroughly enjoyed the reader, also the story is very engaging. Miss Murchinson's exploits gave me some thrills - but she was very plausible when she got caught.

Audible free, a decent whimsy mystery but a little long-winded. Ultimately finishes up with a nice typical flourish

I've never read much mystery and no Sayers. This was for a book challenge but I'm glad that I read it regardless. Sayers has such a fantastic writing style. The characters were witty and complex. I really enjoyed it.

Detective Lord Wimsey takes on the challenge of freeing Harriet Vane accused of Murder. Reminds me of Wodehouse's Jeeves series.
