Enjoyed listening g to this recording but felt that it lacked the polish and refinement of recordings by Ian Carmichael and Edward Petherbridge. It needed more of an atmosphere of the deadly nature of the criminals. Pronunciation could was also a bit off kilter.

One of my favourite Dorothy L Sayers' stories, expertly performed. I was worried about a female narrator for this piece, but no problem. Who is to say what is the correct pronunciation citation of Bredon, only Death is explained in the book.

Very enjoyable.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, depending on the friend's tastes. It was a good yarn. An unexpectedly interesting thing about it was the time when it was written (first published in 1933). I enjoyed the portrayal of aspects of life at that time - the advertising business, drugs, office life for men and women - written naturally when it was all contemporary, rather than as nostalgia or social commentary. I liked the fact that it was normal - and rather dashing - for Lord PW to put on a monocle.

What did you like best about this story?

Lively characters, good writing, fun.

Any additional comments?

This is the first Dorothy L Sayers book that I've read. I'll definitely be reading more.

Enjoyable

I have always loved Peter Wimsey (and almost all other 'Golden Age' detectives however implausible the characters and plot really are. This one was enjoyable, but the narrator has a few annoying mispronunciations and sometimes odd pauses which occasionally distract. Not too badly though, so overall a good listen. Love the period feel and the Bright Young Things, and the setting in an advertising office is fun. I've listened to several others in the same series and enjoyed them all.

Love these stories but...
