DOROTHY L. SAYERS A Biography: Death, Dante and Lord Peter Wimsey

This biography gives listeners fascinating insight into the life of Dorothy L. Sayers, whose creation, Lord Peter Wimsey, is much loved by Golden Age Mystery fans but whose writing is only a part of her interesting life. Simon Vance's clear narration draws the listener into Sayers's life and helps to create a vivid picture of this strong and unusual woman. His warm reading style helps to reflect the fondness for Sayers that is so apparent in the author's writing. His pacing is perfectly matched to this biography and keeps the listener engaged even during some of the audiobook's more wordy passages. This is a relatively short but highly detailed listen.
