Title: Among the Best
Review: Although surpassed by the more tightly written Murder Must Advertise, Gaudy Night is my personal favorite among Sayers' Lord Wimsey murder mysteries for the author's amazing skill in depicting the details and atmosphere of a now bygone era and institution. Although leisurely written, the mystery itself is quite taunt and intriguing and the many complex characters that people the novel are exceptionally well-rounded and believable. Sayers clearly enjoyed creating this particular work, and her pleasure in it illuminates the book to an exceptional degree.
