Book Review of The Five Red Herrings (Lord Peter Wimsey, Bk 7)

The Five Red Herrings (Lord Peter Wimsey, Bk 7)

How bad can a Lord Peter Wimsey mystery be? Not bad at all. Sayers was a mystery writer par excellence. Her Lord Peter Wimsey is delightful, and all her characters are fully three-dimensional. This mystery varies from her other stories as being a timetable-based mystery. I'm afraid these always make my brain glaze over. But Sayers is always engaging, and even her anti-climax is exciting to read.
