5/19/2023 0 Comments First peter wimsey novel![]() The main reason I love these four in particular is because they’re about more than mystery. If you don’t want to commit to the whole series, those four novels more than satisfy. The big four are Strong Poison (1930), Have His Carcase (1932), Gaudy Night (1936), and Busman’s Honeymoon (1937). However, discounting the latter, Harriet appears in only four novels, with only slight reference to her in a fifth, not discussed here. There are eleven Wimsey novels, twelve if you count the unfinished Thrones, Dominations (later completed by Jill Paton Walsh), and a variety of short stories. I enjoyed them quite a bit, but it wasn’t until I began rereading them in high school and college, and again years later, that I understood exactly how wonderful this series is and how deep my love for it runs, especially the romantic pairing of aristocratic detective Lord Peter Wimsey and novelist Harriet Vane. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sayers MysteryThis post includes spoilers, but if you haven’t read this classic series yet, what are you waiting for? I read my first Dorothy Sayers mystery– most of them, in fact–when I was in middle school. ![]() Edward Petherbridge as Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Walter as Harriet Vane in A Dorothy L. ![]()
