Sayers’ most renowned amateur detective, the engaging and amusing Lord Peter Wimsey, sets out to unravel a puzzling case involving the disappearance of a wealthy financier and the discovery of a nude corpse, wearing gold pince-nez, in a bathtub. He does succeed in solving things to everyone’s ultimate satisfaction, but only after a series of bloodcurdling and hair-raising episodes that will hold the listener spellbound with anticipation.

Long considered one of the top mystery authors, Dorothy L. Sayers has excelled herself in this delightfully macabre tale, a truly rare find for anyone interested in top-flight crime fiction.

Eleştirmen yorumları

“The Wimsey books are literate and delightful mysteries.”

(Chicago Tribune)

“The tale is better written and has a good deal more characterization than one finds in the average detective story.”

(New York Times)

I really enjoy Sayers' writing and have given voices to characters without even thinking about it. Sadly the interpretation here was different both in voice and pace.

Too Fast for Me

The world of advertising is a perfect foil for the wit of Lord Peter - in fact some of this is strangely prophetic in the butter department! Sparkling, pacy and full of gorgeous sounds of thunderstorms, crackling fires and ticking clocks.

Yummy!

Would you try another book written by Dorothy L. Sayers or narrated by Nadia May?

Oh dear! What a mistake. I love the DLS Wimsey books, but I didn't realise that this was not one of those narrated by the excellent Ian Carmichael. Instead this is narrated by a woman who speaks so quickly and in some strange pretence of upper class accent and (male!?) voice that does not portray either Wimsey or Bunter in any way, shape or form.

Would not purchase another with this narrator.

How could the performance have been better?

If it had been delivered by Ian Carmichael (or probably any male narrator)!

No Ian Carmichael

The reader of this is really not a very good reader. I found her extremely difficult to listen to.

terrible reading!

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

I like the book enormously, but found the narration impossible. I gave up listening before the end of the third chapter, and have deleted it from my mp3 player to free space for something worth while.

What was most disappointing about Dorothy L. Sayers’s story?

The story is fine, but not as performed in this version - choose another narrator and enjoy it!

What didn’t you like about Nadia May’s performance?

The voices given to Wimsey and Bunter were completely inappropriate. Wimsey is a cultivated, upper class Englishman, not a vulgar cheeky chappy, and Bunter should be a properly self-effacing gentleman's gentleman.

Any additional comments?

I won't be buying other books narrated by Nadia May.

totally inappropriate narration
