Welcome to Litsy!

This dragged on for me. Too much talk: blah blah blah from Lord Peter Wimsey. Harriet Vane, the voice of reason, sighted a dead body by the shore when she was picnicking. The plot that unfolds due to their investigation, although convoluted, did reach a resolution in the end. #readyourkindle

Lord Peter Wimsey book 6. Very good! I think Miss Climpson and Miss Murcheson deserve the credit for solving this one - they did all the work! I wish Sayers had written a spinoff series about Miss Climpson and the “Cattery.“

My first time reading Sayers. A solid mystery with all the classic elements. #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

What a gorgeous book 📕 started slow but was worth sticking it out. Fully realized tertiary characters, excellent literary references, and a puzzle with plenty of clues so you could suss it out.

This was a brutal holiday and I needed a good read. Thank goodness for these guys, even if they often want me to stop reading at the really good bits.

I couldn't limit myself to just three favorites! There were a few books in the list I hadn't read, but I'd read others by the authors (I didn't count them, nor did I count movies).

Thanks for the tag, @dabbe ! #TLT #ThreeListThursday

Sayers has a tendency to have her characters (usually Lord Peter) make a point with a very large number of words. Usually, I like this, but in this novel, it feels tedious. This novel has a seemingly complex mystery with a relatively simple solution that's revealed fairly excruciatingly right before the novel abruptly ends. I wonder what was going on in Sayers's life when she wrote this one because it seems like she wasn't really focused on it.
