Unfortunately, I do find her particularly prone to some of those pesky 'isms' that Margot rightly draws attention to. But times change. I know what you mean Yvette and I do like Carmichael, but I LOVED Petherbridge when he played the older Peter opposite Harriet Walter as Harriet Vane - wonderfully and convincingly romantic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-41147478288519606182011-05-24T15:44:14.308-04:002011-05-24T15:44:14.308-04:00Bev - Sayers is one of my favourite authors :-).

Thanks to you, Bev, I've just read WHOSE BODY and realized I'd never read it before. Somehow I missed it first time around.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.com
