Review:I started reading The Doll in the morning. Luckily I'm on a road trip with my husband and he's the driver because, other than for a few necessary breaks, I didn't put it down. I read by the light of my IPad until I finished it at 2:00 AM. Heart stopping suspense, seriously evil villains, and a woman with skills in stalking, self-defense, deduction, weapons, to match any man. I loved the previous two Vanessa Munroe novels and The Doll did not disappoint. Make sure you carve out some reading time ... Read more

Review:The second Vanessa Munroe novel is as absorbing as the first one.
The author knows to capture with a mixture of great insight in countries and customs and a lot of thrill and action.
I'm very looking forward to the next sequel coming 2013. Read more

Review:Beginning and conclusion were fairly interesting. Rest of this mystery full of too many artists & situations to keep track of. Constant "supposes" and details of schedules left a muddle of confusion. Seems like author was constructing a puzzle but the result was pages of boring text. Not one of her better books. 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:A great story for the time period.anti Semitic, racial slurs abound.am not sure how much this was around in europe at this time period, but I think the story would have more appeal if all that had been left out.and to think she went on to write books about jesus! I won't be reading any more 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:This is a very interesting mystery regarding a stolen necklace. The way Dorothy Sayers weaved in the bell peals into the story line was wonderful. I really enjoyed the information on the ringing of bell peals. Read more
