Critic reviews

"She combined literary prose with powerful suspense, and it takes a rare talent to achieve that. A truly great storyteller." (Minette Walters)

excellent

Excellent reading of classic novel. Sayer worked in advertising herself so the description of the workplace is accurate

A faithful reading

Alas the otherwise excellent narrator mispronounced Wimsey's alias throughout. She did, however, a very good job with the cricket match.
