Read for #AuthorAMonth #DorothySayers this was my first experience with Lord Peter Wimsey & first Sayers book. I listened to this one on audio & mostly in the car running errands & found it entertaining overall, more impressive that it was her first novel. It‘s dated, at times racist & classist but I liked the main character & supporting characters & might pick up another in the series at some point.⬇️

An afternoon with Lord Peter Whimsy. #dorothysayers #goldenagecrimeclub

Went for something comforting tonight. I went through all of Dorothy Sayers novels so long ago that I can reread without a clue! So I am enjoying myself. The tagged book is Set in England after WWI in 1923.
I forgot the author used the format of footnotes to explain the rare province (or not) of the books Wimsey was buying. #DorothySayers #MistressoftheGoldenAgeMystery #libraryfind #LordPeterWimseyMystery #porchlife #20in4 #readathon

This week I finished Once Upon A River and Doctor Zhivago. I continued my reading of Invisible Women #SheSaid and Square Haunting

A great follow up!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ A fun quick read. Dorothy L. Sayers finds a body in her dining room; her friends from the Detection Club decide who better to discover a murderer than the sharpest minds in detective fiction; lead by Agatha Christie, they follow the clues to get to the truth.
