This looks like a good one! Thanks, Bev!
It's been years since I read any Dorothy L Sayers - I'd forgotten how good her books are.
Sounds like a good book! Thanks for participating!
Love the trio of lines from page 56: Such conviction with such rhetorical insistence!
Oh, this one looks and sounds good! Thanks for sharing....
Here's MY FRIDAY MEMES POST
I remember reading a lot of Dorothy Sayers years ago. Enjoy!
I haven't read a Dorothy Sayers book in 30 years I think. This one sounds interesting.

I LOVE that beginning! It made me giggle out loud! Sayers is one of those authors that I know I need to read, but haven't gotten to yet!
Thanks for participating in Book Beginnings!
