Lord Peter Views the Body (Lord Peter Wimsey Mystery, #5)

by Dorothy L Sayers

On re-reading the stories, I liked them a whole lot better. However, I'd recommend to readers that the short stories are best left until you've read the novels.

Updated review on my WP blog here.

Original review:

2.5*

I like Peter and Bunter but the stories in this collection were lacking something - either the development of other characters or a hook. I stand by my hypothesis that some authors are great at creating novels but can't quite transfer the same skill to short stories or - without referring to the format - simply shorter stories.

Still, some fun adventures with Peter.

Now on to the next Wimsey novel...
