The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L. Sayers
5.0

The thing I really like about Dorothy Sayers' books is that she shows how devastating the murders are to everyone involved. In many mysteries, the problem is solved and everyone goes on their merry way. Dorothy Sayers doesn't allow that. This book has a very melancholy ending, with even Lord Peter realizing that sometimes it's better that things stay buried. Sayers is also a very sympathetic writer; she writes with equal love for good people among the nobility and the working classes. This book may have one of the more easily solved murders, but I think it's one of her best because she is able to show so well the feelings of all involved.
