Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I’ve been looking forward to diving into the Sayers Whimey stories. Gathered most of the volumes first. Now I’ll have to figure what to do with them. I might give another a try.
I found the writing style to be more than excessive with many pages of extended narrative or dialogue that was ridiculously longer than the cuteness i think Sayers was intending. The excessive didn’t add to the story, but seemed to be parts of other stories never realized. In fat, this first book in the series, is written as if there were many volumes before it.
Most of the characters are interesting, but none I found that intriguing or fascinating or drawn to want to read another book about. The settings are pretty sketchy in the writing, which is odd in that the setting is so important to the story.
The mystery has a pretty good beginning and a well written explanation in a narrative layout that could have been far better plotted.
Bottom line: I don’t recommend this book. 4 out of ten points.
