A review by bookwoman1967
Thrones, Dominations by Dorothy L. Sayers
3.0
There's been a lot of discussion about this continuation of the Peter Wimsey series by someone other than Dorothy Sayers. Some love it, some hate it. It's been compared to fan fiction. First off, NO ONE is going to write Peter Wimsey like Dorothy Sayers. Personally, I think she far outshone Agatha Christie and was a true master at the British mystery.
That said, I kind of liked the book. It wasn't Dorothy Sayers. But I liked continuing with the characters. The mystery was rather tortuous, without a very believable ending. And of course it's a modern author so no matter how much she tries to write as if it were the 1930s, it's still going to sound like historical fiction, not writing from the 1930s. But, if you take the book for what it is, it's an enjoyable read.
