Somehow I had managed to go through life without reading any Dorothy L. Sayers. Now in the process of rectifying that.
This, her first Lord Peter Wimsey story, is quite a good whodunit. An unidentified body is discovered in strange circumstances, a rich industrialist disappears, and somebody is speculating in seemingly worthless stocks. These apparently unrelated things grab Lord Wimsey's interest. After that he is like a hound on the scent.
A nice cozy – somewhat whimsical, well plotted, intricate, and loaded with oddball characters. Solid 4 stars.
