Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers
Reader Reviews 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: One of the greatest mysteries ever written?, March 27, 2003 Reviewer: deckard-croix from columbus, oh United States I would say that Sayers' writing only gets better from here except for the fact that it's been said too many times in the previous reviews and that it doesn't. Now this not to say that her following mysteries are not good, they are excellent - but when considering 'Whose Body?' in the context I'm considering it, which is to say, 'one of the greatest mysteries ever written'. Most would probably disagree with me, but there's one thing I desire for every mystery and that's for the writer to not just focus on the mystery, but on the characters. This is because in real life there are 2 types of mysteries: those that will never be solved and those that can be solved with the regular investigation done by the police. I think Sayers pulls off the 'perfect' mystery that balances realism with entertainment. She can be said to be an incredibly humorous writer that does mystery on the side, but to say that would be almost sacrilege lol. I could and would go on, but of course I'm only stating my opinion and why debate that? Suffice it to say that I prefer 'Whose Body?' to Sayers' other mysteries (though I love those too) :D.
