Not too long ago, my spouse read this book and intrigued me into doing the same. Back in the dark ages, when we lived in Pittsburgh and didn't have a TV or any money to speak of, we would entertain ourselves by reading Dorothy Sayers to each other in the evenings. I think we pretty much read them al...

I needed a 5 star book to read after a few dismal 1 and 2 stars.... and this book fits the ticket. One of my favorite Dorothy Sayers books, it is not really a murder mystery as a delightful romp into the complexities of joyful and wonderful marriage.
