THE
STARTLING TRAGICOMEDY OF THE PEDIGREE BLOODHOUND
The
Detective Fiction of Dorothy L. Sayers
“Miss Sayers knows so much, her
inventive
faculty is so prolific and so whimsical, and her sense of humour is so
irrepressible that she cannot be dull…”
– Times Literary Supplement, 11th May 1933
<>
“The interplay of interests, of psychology
and detection, is so subtle and well-ordered that Gaudy Night
stands out
even among Miss Sayers’s novels. And
Miss Sayers has long stood in a class by herself.”
– Times Literary Supplement, 9th November 1935

“Oxford scores
heavily this week with the publication of detective novels by Miss
Dorothy L.
Sayers and by Father Knox… Each can
claim a large part in setting a high standard to the post-War multitude. Each has a brain of first-class subtlety, a
care for and mastery of English, and self-imposed rules of rigorous
fairness.”
