The Documents in the Case

3.9

This engaging mystery was co-authored by Dorothy Sayers and Robert Eustace, a physician and author who provided pivotal scientific information and plot ideas . It is written primarily in epistolary form. It features the character of forensic analyst Sir James Lubbock, who is a character in several of the Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries, although Lord Peter himself is not a character in the story. This is, in fact, the only mystery novel written by Sayers that does not include Lord Peter. (Summary by Ciufi Galeazzi)

Reviews

wonderful!


I read the partly not very flattering comments on this book and its reading and feel called upon to write the recommendation and praise that in my mind it truly deserves. If you expect a straightforward whodunit story with a detective like Lord Peter Wimsey solving the mystery you will probably be disappointed. But this is a very clever and highly entertaining and thrilling book once you get used to the unusual form. All in all, one might perhaps say that it would have shown more of its ironic qualities if it had not been read by a reader with an American accent and an enthusiastic attitude. But she deserves five stars for reading it in the first place, and she gets through it with credit. Thank you!!!

Excellent Reader - Interesting Tale


An different format, and maybe a little slow to start but, worthwhile in the end. Quite well read.
