‘Busman’s Honeymoon” by Dorothy L. Sayers

 I read yet another Peter Wimsey book because it continued the tv series I watched on YouTube with actor Edward Etherbridge. I wanted to learn more about Peter and Harriet, his fiance. The book was a pretty good read, but it had far too many quotes by Shakespeare and other famous old English writers. The  interactions between Peter and Harriet were amusing, until they turned serious due to Peter’s WW1 PTSD and guilt over sending criminals to the gallows. At the end, all the psychological tribulations were nicely resolved. Banter, as usual, was perfect, except for the letter to his mother, which made him sound quite ordinary.

“Clouds of Witness” by Dorothy L Sayers

The second Peter Wimsey book was better than the first, I think, but once again, I probably missed a lot of the humour because the writing is so very English. I have a feeling it would be easier to capture the humour in audiobook form.
