Ms. Sayers's mysteries are well-written and well-devolped. Because her writing has more depth than modern mysteries, I will be more inclined to reread them. I also have to concentrate more and "work" a bit more as I read, a challenge which I welcome and enjoy.
Witty characters and plot twists.
Lord Peter Wimsey's brother, Gerald, is accused of murdering his future brother-in-law. Gerald denies it but refuses to explain where he was during the time of the murder. Clues abound, but answers do not as Lord Wimsey and his trust-worthy friend/man, Bunter piece together different accounts and discover secrets.
French phrases throughout the book hampered my comprehension at times.
*Highly recommend.
