CommentDorothy Sayers was a very successful author of murder mysteries, and I used to see them around my mother's house. This one is from 1923, and introduces Lord Peter Wimsey, a very clever and witty amateur detective. I enjoyed it very much.
QuoteLord Peter jumped up with genuine eagerness.
"My dear man, I'm delighted to see you. What a beastly foggy night ain't it? Bunter, some more of that admirable coffee, and another glass, and the cigars. Parker, I hope you're full of crime. -- Nothing less than arson or murder will do for us tonight.
