My first Lord Peter book was read in 1946 when I was 13.  Now these stories are a little dated and might seem a little silly to young people not used to the wonderful old English Manor House style of writing.  But I find, that even after nearly 70 years,  I still enjoy them thoroughly, as I did every other time I have reread them.Miss Sayers vocabulary is spectacular.  It is worth the read just to see if you can keep up with her.  The mores involved are unusual but splendid.  This book is a great introduction to one of the greatest mystery writers of the 20th century.
