This mystery is set in the Galloway section of Scotland. It was published in 1931. The dialogue is very amusing but hard to follow since Mrs. Sayers writes in dialect, something modern day writers shirk from. It was very hard to understand what was going on, also the use of Scottish slang words not familiar to US readers. I enjoyed the story but may not read anymore of her writing because of the problems with descriptions and terms I am not able to decipher.
