Enjoyed re-reading this: after all this time, did not remember many of the characters, though I did remember the murderer. Good crafting: am not sure I understand all the details about the bells in England, but it is a good education about bell ringing -- apparently an endurance sport in England.

A re-read. 

Considered Sayer’s best - it Wimsey without Harriet and the whole thing is very focused on church bells and bell ringing and it all takes place in the English fens and there’s a lot about flooding. Overall a good escape.

Entertaining, and a clever solution to the murder, but for some reason it just didn't grip me. Possibly because I was half-asleep on an airplane during much of it.
