Description
A good collection of short stories. If you enjoy Agatha Christie, you should enjoy Dorothy Sayers. Dated as they are, once the readers get past the cultural references and old-fashioned language, one finds exquisitely crafted stories. Dorothy Sayers is the perfect writer both for those who read for the puzzle of a mystery and those who read for the sake of the setting and the characters. She balances both with a rare sensitivity.
