🔍 Ever wondered what happens when you combine medieval French scholarship, advertising expertise, and detective fiction? Meet Dorothy L. Sayers, whose Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries revolutionized the genre.

✍️ Join me as I explore the interesting career of one of the founding authors of the Detection Club who wrote mysteries where love bloomed between intellectual equals then went on to write something completely different! 

Where to start with Dorothy L. Sayers books: 

If you like to start at the beginning of a series, the first Lord Peter Wimsey book is Whose Body?

I recommend The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club, which I have a podcast about:
