Review:I bought this book basically for the title. Wasn't expecting much. It is a fun book to read, but it is a little to thin. Although it has a lot of photos, it wasn't full color printed. So some of the good pictures got unclear when it printed black and white. Read more

Review:Like some other readers have stated in their reviews, I enjoy Pressfield's writing immensely, but this book took a bit to get started for me. I was never a huge fan of the WW2 exploits in the North African theatre of war, until I read Panzer Battles by Von Mellinthin. That reading helped me to appreciate this well researched novel. Killing Rommel is a fairly quick read. I am not as much of an Anglophile as some are. The language that is used can be a bit distracting but that is how they talk.Che... Read more

Review:I loved this book. The plot was very interesting & the characters were extremely likable. I was very exited to discover that there were 3 more books in the series. I have finished them all & just wish there were more. I highly recommend this series. Read more

Review:Audio version CLAIMS to be unabridged... quite disgusted to discover that instead of 11 hours of listening, it was 3! That's not an abridged version, that's a hack job! Dorothy Sayers is worth all eleven hours, so what's with the false advertising? Read more

Review:I was delighted with Jill Paton Walsh's original Peter Wimsey novel! She has put her knowledge of Dorothy Sayer's style to very good use, and created a worthy addition to the Wimsey works!
It is a good story, and the characters ring true. Read more

Review:One of the most famous detectives of the British Golden Age of Mystery is not a policeman, but the brother of the (fictitious) Duke of Denver, Lord Peter Death Bredon Wimsey. He is wealthy enough to do what he wants with his life, and has devoted himself to oenology, bibliophily, and criminology, i.e. wine, antiquarian books, and murderers.

On Armistice Day, ninety-year-old General Fentiman is discovered dead in his chair in front of the fireplace at the Bellona Club. He had heart probl... Read more

Review:Good old fashioned English who-done-it. Gets a bit too involved in the decoding, if I wanted to follow it I probably could have but I don't think it was really needed to continue the story...and it took up several pages. The rest of the story was fun if you are into the English of the pre-WWII, I find the interactions of the different classes interesting although not that relevant today, it was a fun read. Read more

Review:I had read "Busman's Holiday" and this filled in details of Lord Peter and Harriet's collaboration in solving a tangled murder mystery -- great story. Anyone who likes Dorothy Sayers will like this book. Read more

Review:My first reading of this author's work, though her main character, Lord Peter Wimsey, was known to me. Written in an academic style, this book was both light, entertaining and full of poetical references. Set in Oxford, during the 1930s, when women were only just beginning to gain some recognition in their chosen careers, it is an interesting look back to that time, and contains a wonderful set of characters, not forgetting a clever little plot and mystery which finally presents itself. For t... Read more

Review:I loved Lord Peter when I first discovered himin the basement of the public library. I read all of them. And now, at last, I Know that "happily ever after" had some bumps and some wit and charm and some twists. Three cheers for JPWalsh who carries on with great panache. Read more
