Book Review of Lord Peter: A Collection of All the Lord Peter Wimsey Stories

Lord Peter: A Collection of All the Lord Peter Wimsey Stories
reviewed on + 813 more book reviews


This is the complete Lord Peter Wimsey stories: all twelve from Lord Peter Views the Body, the three from Striding Folly, four from Hangman's Holiday, and two from In the Teeth of the Evidence. The best of these come from the first dozen, but all are entertaining as she buffoons British manners and solves the most baffling perplexities (not all are murders). Step aside Agatha, Ellery, and Erle, Ms Sayers is truly the reigning queen of mystery.
