Title: a zombi book
Review: No wit, no sparkle, no elegance of style,thought and logic - in fact nothing that makes Dorothy Sayers books so attractive. Lord Peter and Harriet are talking in banalities! The plot is o'k but the book has nothing to do with Sayers or Lord Peter. There should be a law against creating walking dead out of some very dear literary heroes.I was reminded of a very old joke from musical world. It says that when Rossini died, his relative wrote a requiem to his memory and offered it to a director of some musical theater. The response was brilliant:"It is not that bad but it would have been much better if you late uncle had written a requiem to YOUR memory." I am afraid I share the feeling when it comes to Jill Walsh "version" of Lord Peter.If you are a real Lord Peter fan, better stay away from that book to avoid some rather painful experience. Time was not able to kill Lord Peter, but that author might be able to accomplish just that in about 2 books.
