Book Review: Clouds of Witness (Lord Peter Wimsey #2) by Dorothy Sayers
Four Stars
“Beliefs don’t matter. It’s what you know about people.”
Readers who like 1926 tongue-in-cheek detective stories of manners and fans of Downton Abbey, will find this just their cup of tea. Others, not so much. The reader is assumed to be literate in French, which I’m not. I muddled through.
“Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman, but an adult old woman is uncontrollable by any earthly force.”
Lord Peter’s brother, the Duke of Denver, is accused of murder. Suddenly Peter’s embarrassing hobby–sleuthing–may save Duke Gerald’s title … and neck.The title gives away the twist: too many witnesses to too much, some of it misleading or simply untrue.
I’ve read this book before. Don’t know where or when. I suspect in ebook format, so it couldn’t have been that long ago.
“Contrast is life.”
As a Matter of Fancy 
Nope, not my cup of tea. Thanks.
