The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L. Sayers

4.0

Lord Wimsey, Bunter, and their car end up in the ditch in the Fens on New Year's Eve and so get involved first in some bell ringing in the village, and then in solving a mystery. I found this a lot funnier, and a lot more engaging, then some of the other Lord Peter stories I've read. Although the pacing of the plot did throw me towards the end. Not as used to weeks being skipped in a mystery story as usually there's a frenetic pace of trying to solve something right up to the last minute. There were brilliant characters to observe, stuff to learn about peals and bells, and tidal waters to watch out for.
