Have His Carcase by Dorothy L. Sayers

4.0

---

A missing corpse makes for a pretty modern paean to forensic science, especially for 1932: take that, CSI franchise! Harriet Vane, who takes center stage for much of this book, is such a great voice for Sayers herself: a lot less archetypal than Wimsey, who ends up reading kind of camp in his aristocratic Britishness. But the bit that really stole my heart in this installment was the cryptography shenanigans. Swoon! Tl;dr : Dorothy Sayers is an unsung Agatha Christie, and I will go full gospel choir to make it known.
