scripsiIt’s a what I am reading Thursday this week. Kid gradutated yesterday and I had other things to do than LJing.
What I am reading now: Clouds of Witness by Dorothy L. Sayers, Vernon House by Sandra Farris and A Private Disgrace by Victoria Lincoln.
What I have finished reading: Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers. Sayers easily qualify as one of my favourite authors and I re-read her books every few years. Now I feel the urge again. All but one of her crime novels deals with gentleman detective Lord Peter Wimsey and were written in the 1920’s-30’s. They are very witty and the crimes generally inventive and interesting. Whose Body? is the first and deals with a dead body in a bath. A dead body who most definitely not is Sir Reuben Levy who disappeared during the night. So whose body is it and where is Sir Reuben and is there a connection?
Unlike Agatha Christie's books Lord Peter age and change throughout the books, but his world is already fully formed in the first one, even if he is slightly cartoonish here. Lord Peter is the second son of a duke, very rich and solves crimes as a hobby. He has a perfect man servant called Bunter and is best friend with a police man, Charles Parker. In this book we also meet his delightful mother, the Dowager Duchess of Denver.
What I will be reading next: Unnatural Deat by Dorothy L. Sayers.
Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family by H. P. Lovecraft.
