It was nice to see scenes of Major Wimsey and Sergeant Bunter in the war and the reunion of the two prior to Bunter's entering his lordship's service-even if that did go off-canon as well. I just wish it didn't give so much of the plot away too soon. It's unfortunate that they altered the storyline-but I acknowledge the reasons for doing so. I also spent a bit of time watching Ian Carmichael as Lord Peter in the 1970s BBC version. I don't have much new to say-so if you'd like to see more of my insights into The Nine Tailors, please click either of the two links above for previous reviews-the title will take you to a previous listen of the audio version and Sayers's name will take you to a review of the printed copy. Carmichael does Wimsey so well and gives such life to Sayers's other characters that it is always a delight to listen to the audio versions. It was especially nice to have that chat with Ian Carmichael reading in my ears. I love them so and I have read/listened to them so often that it's like settling down with a good friend for a nice quiet chat. The Sayers books are always comfortable reads for me. I was sick last week and spent a couple of days on the couch (when not sleeping) with Lord Peter Wimsey. The Nine Tailors (1934) by Dorothy L Sayers

Sayers was a prolific author of crime fiction during the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, and one of the 'Queens of Crime', alongside notable others such as Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh. Widely considered her best work, Sayers can perhaps be forgiven for the minor criticism regarding her inaccurate campanology details. The Nine Tailors is the ninth novel to feature Lord Peter Wimsey and is set in the Lincolnshire Fens, with the story concerning a group of bell-ringers at the local parish church. Lacking the very scarce original dust wrapper.

A scarce first edition of one of Sayers' most loved novels, featuring her protagonist, Lord Peter Wimsey.
