    <body><![CDATA[Wow. I don't know if anyone today could write an effective mystery set against the backdrop of feminism and Oxford University in the 1930s without it seeming trite and just plain silly but Dorothy L. Sayers certainly can. Someone is playing increasingly dangerous tricks against the women who have re...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/310791">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A detective novel but written in a more literary manner than most. Written in the 1930s, it makes passing reference to eugenics and events in Germany in a non-judgmental manner -- it's obvious that many from the educated class of the time were unabashed Darwinists and took it to the nth degree.
