I think it is a fine plot and like the way Peter Wimsey uses his little grey cells (in a quite modern and convincing way, I think).Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-78193266611045282852009-11-20T22:37:31.276+00:002009-11-20T22:37:31.276+00:00I've been looking for a good Sayers book to re...I've been looking for a good Sayers book to revisit and, after reading your post and comments, this sounds like the perfect one!

With a few exceptions, I think they are very fine Golden Age mysteries. In my opinion her environments and characters are more interesting and credible than most of Agatha Christie´s works. <br /><br />Martin: yes, the setting is certainly part of the appeal of this one. I also enjoyed learning about campanology and the idea of using this expert knowledge in a cipher.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-9163575020794152322009-11-20T21:32:44.270+00:002009-11-20T21:32:44.270+00:00A terrific book, one of my favourites by Sayers.

THE NINE TAILORS, though, is not a disappointment, and your posting provokes me to read it again; it has collected dust long enough on my bookshelf.R/Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07791522136032565027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-90685330667268634092009-11-20T20:51:38.305+00:002009-11-20T20:51:38.305+00:00Dorte - Thanks for reminding me of this excellent ...Dorte - Thanks for reminding me of this excellent book : ).

Only recently some of her books can be found translated, if my info is correct.<br />Anyway Dorte, thanks again for bringing her name to our attention. I look forward to read some of her Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries.Jose Ignacio Escribanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00296527986083953692noreply@blogger.com
