I will forever adore this book because one clue was an extraordinary ham sandwich, and soon after is this line: "The examination was not a very pleasant matter, for the weather had been damp and warm and there had certainly been weasels."
There was also a happy, successful lesbian-coded duo. And a v curious fictional biographical note that Sayers filled with deliberate spoilers. But fair warning of 1920s racism and the N word, and some curious sexist commentary coming from the otherwise amiable Lord Peter and his friend Parker.
