tiffanyslack 's review for:
The Nine Tailors
by Dorothy L. Sayers
4 1/2 stars. Once I had reached the end of the second chapter (60+ pages), and there were was still no dead body, I realized I needed to adjust my expectations. Yes, this is detective fiction/murder mystery, but the book is about much more than that. This is not a fast-paced, plot-driven novel, and that's why I liked it so much. The mystery is set against a backdrop of change ringing (church bells) in the post-WW1 English countryside. I had no idea that bell ringing was so complicated - I just read an entire book about it and still feel like I know absolutely nothing, but it was an interesting setting for a story. The ending was unexpected and really wonderful and elevated the book from 4 to 4 1/2 - I suspect I may decide to raise it to 5 after I've sat with it for a while - I can't stop thinking about it.
