James "I admire her novels ... she has great fertility of invention, ingenuity and a wonderful eye for detail." -- Ruth Rendell, Praise for Dorothy L. Sayers: "I think I never enjoyed a detective story so much--probably because it takes place in an advertising agency and what goes on there in the everyday run of business is so steadily and even so uproariously funny it would keep me reading even a mystery less double-end-twisted than this." - Saturday Review "First-rate . . . marvelous reading." - Chicago Sun-Times "One of the greatest mystery story writers of the twentieth century." - Los Angeles Times "The Wimsey books are literate and delightful mysteries." - Chicago Tribune "She brought to the detective novel originality, intelligence, energy and wit." - P.D. James "I admire her novels ... she has great fertility of invention, ingenuity and a wonderful eye for detail." - Ruth Rendell "She combined literary prose with powerful suspense, and it takes a rare talent to achieve that. A truly great storyteller." - Minette Walters
