I found the stories to be hit and miss and parts of this book were a bit of a slog to get through.
It is my first time reading any of Sayers novels, and I was a little disappointed. I hope that her other full length stories are better.

wow this collection of short stories is fun, clever and just fantastic. I honestly thought when I picked it up it was another mystery and yes to me that was more than enough but then the added bonus of realising it wasn't just one mystery it was a collection of mysteries (short stories) featuring Lord Peter Wimsey I was incredibly happy and excited to get going. This is where Dorothy's writing takes off to a whole new level and I am not saying her earlier novels are less but the mysteries are more intense and more menacing and yet still with that bubble of charm to carry you through. Loved Loved loved it.
