The mystery in this was quite facile, to the point where I figured out who did it before the character even appeared, and the method the moment the clue was mentioned, but I didn't care about that. Lord Peter is utterly adorable and smitten here, and Miss Climpson, who does most of the heavy lifting in acquiring evidence, is absolutely kick-ass. The book is also very funny - the funniest Sayers I've read to date - and the dialogue is executed with a deft touch. I think this will be a favourite comfort read.
