A Lord Peter Wimsey mystery.
It has been many years since I read this story, but I remember that I loved it. I also know that it is considered one of the classic mysteries--one of the best of all time. It is British, it is about a time in the past (maybe the 1930s?), and it's not a thrill-a-minute, but it's clever and it's very satisfying.
the mystery is good. very enjoyable Lord Peter story. what bothers me though is that a good portion of the book is devoted to English bell-ringing - pulling ropes in a huge bell tower of a church.
trouble is, the language and actions are obscure so that one doesn't get what something
means...
while it's overall only about 1/8 of the book, it's in every chapter, used to symbolize what's going to happen, and being so obscure is an obstacle to full enjoyment...
