Customer Reviews

A collection of short stories by our favorite detective.

"Lord Peter Views the Body" Is part of the Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries Series. There are twelve mysteries. I will not pull them apart, as the fun is watching them unfold. "The Abominable History of the Man with Copper Fingers"-- "The Entertaining Episode of the Article in Question"-- "The Fascinating Problem of Uncle Mileage's Will"-- "The Fantastic Horror of the Cat in the Bag"-- "The Unprincipled Affair of the Practical Joker"-- "The Undignified Melodrama of the Bone of Contention"-- "The Vindictive Story of the Footsteps That Ran"-- "The Bibulous Business of a Matter of Taste"-- "The Learned Adventure of the Dragon's Head"-- "The Piscatorial Farce of the Stolen Stomach"-- "The Unsolved Puzzle of the Man with No Face"-- "The Adventurous Exploit of the Cave of Ali Baba"-- With the novels containing Harriet Vane [Strong Poison], the emphasis is on English life with a mystery added. This book is a series of mysteries with a little '20s and 30's England added. It may be my perception, but the mysteries get better and more intriguing as the next one appears. Then it is over. The next book is "The Nine Tailors: Changes Rung on an Old Theme in Two Short Touches and Two Full Peals."
