Title: Gaudy Night by Dorothy L. Sayers
Review: The third of Dorothy Sayer's Harriet Vane/Lord Peter Wimsey novels, Gaudy Night takes Harriet back to her Oxford college in the 1930's to help the female dons discover the identity of a potential murderer who is plaguing them with poison pen letters and vandalism. Peter Wimsey soon enters the plot of this fine novel that is part mystery, part love story, full of high drama and wry humor, and that also offers insight into the social issues of the day. At the heart of the novel is Oxford University itself with its ancient colleges, swaying towers and, not least, its tradition of intellectual integrity. This unabridged audio edition is brilliantly read by Ian Carmichael who has frequently played the part of Wimsey on radio and TV. Highly recommended!
