katymaryreads 's review for:

The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L. Sayers
3.0

I listened to this as a BBC full cast recording, and quite enjoyed it. It's very much of its time, but that is part of its charm. As I remember doing before, when I read a paper copy, I got a bit muddled about who was who in the centre part of the novel, which was full of village gossip and things that had happened in the past, and dragged a little. The ending fell a bit flat for a murder mystery in my opinion, but was certainly clever and unexpected. I like Lord Peter, but he can't hold a candle to Albert Campion.
