Deemed "one of the greatest mystery writers of this century" by the Los Angeles Times, Dorothy L. Sayers first captivated readers nearly seventy years ago with her beloved sleuths Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane in the novel Stong Poison. In Busmans's Honeymoon, her last completed Wimsey/Vane novel, Lord Peter and Harriet culminated their partnership with marriage. Now Thrones, Dominations, Sayers' uncompleted last novel, satisfies the vast readership hungry to know what happened after the honeymoon. Here award-winning author Jill Paton Walsh picks up where Sayers left off, bringing Wimsey and Vane brilliantly to life in Sayers' unmistakable voice. Readers and reviewers are rejoicing at the return of this delightful sleuthing couple--as adept at solving a baffling murder mystery as they are a balancing the delicate demands of their loving union.

Jill Paton Walsh has definitely added something better to Sayer's work but apart from getting rid of the obvious time and place signifiers, I would have no idea where one author met the other. A definite improvement and a joy to read.

I liked this book more than I expected to and less than I wanted to. I've been on a bit of a Dorothy L Sayers binge recently. Or rather, I've been on a Peter and Harriet binge, as over the past few weeks I've re-read the four novels involving them one after the other. I remember hearing about Throne...

Peter and Harriet are a bit unreadably smug at times. A cautionary tale of why you should never find out too much about the author. It makes me want to like Helen more than she deserves, just because everyone else doesn't.Interestingly enough, many other reviewers on this site don't like the book be...

I read this book hesitantly, since it wasn't written by DS. I wish it ha been.It was OK and I liked the story plots, but not unexpectedly, it just wasn't "real" to me. It was pleasant to see how Harriet and Peter had gotten on in life and I wish that Ms. Sayers had written more in this series. For ...
