I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed her writing, not read any for almost 30 years. Loved the characters, especially Lord Peter

I loved it! It's ridiculously British. Though I figured out whodunnit early on, it was a lot of fun getting to the reveal at the end. What a great cast of characters! I'm excited to read more of these.
It's been a while since I settled down with a murder mystery, but I am glad I did.

Better than Whose Body?; mostly because of the more fleshed out characters. I guessed the Who fairly early, but not the How. Not that it mattered much, it's very much the journey not the destination with this one. The beginning of the Wimsey/Vane romance with this one; it was great to see them bounce off each other

I love Dorothy's humour and intelligence. It's a pleasure to read Wimseys.

Not a fan of instalove on Peter's part with a woman he hasn't even talked to, but Miss Climpson and Bill the reformed lock picker make up for it. Very clever master.
