A page turning murder mystery where Lord Peter Wimsey first meets Harriet Vane, accused of murder, falls immediately in love, and decides he will solve the mystery and save her. Read on a plane at breakneck pace. ( ) Kind of... weird? It's written as well as you would expect from Sayers and I enjoy her characters but 1) the introduced "romance", such as it is, is kind of weird and creepy 2) the mystery isn't very exciting. This is related to 1) and it's "spoiled" on the back cover but just in case With 2, massive massive ending spoilers Other people have complained about Wimsey not always being the focus, but I like Climpson a lot - Sayers has a pretty funny and recognisable speech pattern down with the italics being surprisingly effective. Her attempts at spiritualism are funny and some of the most enjoyable parts of the book sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica
