Plot
Loveable characters:
Yes
Five female mystery writers team up to solve a murder. Dorothy L Sayers is the narrator, and though I have read two of her Lord Peter Wimsey stories I don't know enough about her to say if Marie Benedict's portrayal of her voice is true. Nor am I sure she portrayed the other women, including Agatha Christie, correctly. I thought the characters all felt a bit flat, but I am not in a good frame of mind at the moment so it might not be the author's fault. Anyway, it was fine, but not mind-blowing, and I'd rather read something by Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, Margery Allingham, Baroness Orczy, or Agatha Christie any day.
