The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L. Sayers

mysterious

4.0

This isn't my favorite Wimsey novel, but it IS my favorite Wimsey mystery so far. Knowing Sayers' rule for detective fiction that the reader must always have as much information as the detective in the novel, I did my best to solve the crime as I read. I was able to guess a few things, but the ending still surprised me. The things I missed in this book were Lord Peter's interactions with the usual characters like Parker, Miss Climpson, and of course Harriet Vane, although Bunter is present. But as a mystery, I thought it was a lot tighter  and more interesting than the other books, if you can get past all of the details about bell ringing!
