Busman's Honeymoon

 

By Dorothy L. Sayer (read by Ian Carmichael)





What a delightful hoot!

At first I thought I was in epistolary hell. The book opens with a series of letters from varying personages discussing the recent marriage of Miss Harriet Vane to Lord Peter Wimsey. The letters were wickedly catty but I was so afraid that it was going to be the format for the entire book. I was relieved when she switch to straight narrative and got on with the detecting.

I'm not going to say anything about the story itself. I don't want to spoil anything for anybody.

Not quite four stars.
