Clouds of Witness by Dorothy L. Sayers
4.0
A layered and satisfying mystery on its own, Clouds of Witness introduces several plot threads that will be woven into a proper tapestry in the books to follow. Here is the stalwart Inspector Parker meeting the spirited Lady Mary for the first time; there is the old-fashioned Duke making reluctant peace with his brother’s much publicized sleuthing.
In this installment, Sayers finds a happy medium between balancing the mystery-box mechanics of who killed whom with the cadlestick in the library (or revolver in the garden, as is the case here) of the merely diverting Wimsey novels with the human passions and the weighty intellectual meditations of my beloved Gaudy Night.
