dialethia 's review for:
Lord Peter Views the Body
by Dorothy L. Sayers
Short story collections are always a nice interlude in between longer detective novel series, and this one holds up. The shorter length and lack of exposition made for several fun variations on the usual Wimsey format, particularly when it came to disguising who Peter was or how he would become involved. There were a couple that were just fun (rare book treasure! Digestive health!) but the last story was the most haunting - vivid and not at all what I expected even if it does open with Peter Wimsey's alleged death. That and Peter's attitude about the man with no face make me very intrigued to find out if that unpredictable, sort of amoral, morbid quality comes back again in later books.
