Customer Reviews

A great mystery.

Culture shock: a tailor is a church bell, not a person sewing. And the background to this mystery is a culture around the ringing of the bells. You can tell this is Dorothy Leigh Sayers' style. A lot of England, an interesting Wimsey, and a good mystery that does not overwhelm the other elements. When I get time, I want to check whether the books she quoted exist. I am not suggesting reading the books out of order; however, different DLS books emphasize the mystery first, others England first. A book that has the same balance as The Nine Tailors is “Busman's Honeymoon.” Just a note: if you watched the film, the story is not quite the same, especially the ending. Overall, I found this book a-pealing.
