I first learned of Dorothy L. Sayers as the translator of Dante's Divine Comedy, and scholar of medieval Latin and French. Her scholarship lends so much to her writing of murder mysteries. It was a pleasure to listen to your list. Thank you.
I got hooked on these books many years ago. Thank you for inspiring me to re-read a few. Your insights are delightful and most appreciated, and charming. Thank you again.
Can’t say I agree with all of your rankings (Bushman’s honeymoon would be much higher) but I really enjoyed your perspective and analyses on some of my favorite books.
Great summaries and insights! Thank you for enriching my enjoyment of these classic detective stories. My top 3 differ just a bit. They are are: 3. Strong Poison 2. Gaudy Night 1. The Nine Tailors
Interesting ranking. I found Nine Tailors to be a bit of a slag and enjoyed Busman’s Holiday higher but that’s what makes life. Will see more of your videos as this is my first. 😊

Good job! Thanks for this ranking.

“Busman’s Honeymoon” is very much a sequel. It’s got its own charms, but it so much richer if you have at least read “Gaudy Night”
Really enjoyed watching!
I like the Nine Tailors also!
Thanks for your insights!
Lord Peter was quite the scholar and a sticker for detail. I don’t think he would be pleased to hear his Valet referred to as his Butler

Hard to choose between those top ones, they’re all so good.
I agree that the Nine Tailors is number one - but I can’t believe Five Red Herrings is ranked so low! 🥺
