A review by caribbeangirlreading
Gaudy Night by Dorothy L. Sayers

mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

Great themes. Poor execution. Should have been 200 pages shorter. The one positive note was the narrator of the audiobook. Ian Carmichael was the only reason why I was able to finish.

P.S. - Every single one and one and two-star review in GR has perfectly articulated how I feel about this novel.
