  • Be Sure to Read This First in Sayers' Harriet Vane Series!

    For fans of the "Queen of Golden Age Mystery", Dorothy L. Sayers, a must first-read in the Harriet Vane series of books. Great plot, characters, and I love the fact that you really need to pay attention while reading (though enjoyably). Definitely not the usual who-done-it pap! Order it!
