The Nine Tailors (Lord Peter Wimsey, Bk 11)
The Nine Tailors - Lord Peter Wimsey, Bk 11 Author:Dorothy L. Sayers Nine strokes from an old country church toll out the death of an unknown man and call Lord Peter Wimsey to one of his most baffling cases. Set in the strange, flat fen-country of East Anglia, this is a classic tale of suspense by a master of mystery.
Reading of her ringing of the church bells, to me, was akin to reading the great sticklers for nautical details ( Dana, Cooper, Marryat, Russell) about which I shall never understand anything. I think that I shall never be able of distinguishing among scuppers, bilge, and crow's nest. This is a first rate mystery that will keep you wondering until the very end. Along with Murder Must Advertise, it is one of her best efforts.
