Dorothy L Sayers Books

Z.J. Czupor (Zoltan James) joins us for another episode to discuss Dorothy L. Sayers books – Gaudy Night, Strong Poison, The Nine Tailors, and more. We’re so glad former guest Dan Drake told us to read Strong Poison before Gaudy Night. Game changer. Let us know if you agree …

Harriet Vane (Gaudy Night)

Dorothy L. Sayers is one of the Queens of Crime, and we dig deep into Strong Poison and Gaudy Night with the help of our fabulous guest, Z.J. Czupor (pen name Zoltan James). We thought we didn’t like Harriet Vane. But we were wrong. She’s complex, no question, but she won us over.

Dorothy Sayers The Nine Tailors

Autodesk cofounder and Dorothy L. Sayers super scholar Dan Drake joins Sarah and Carolyn on a second episode celebrating The Nine Tailors. Dan introduced us to the word “Sayersiana,” and we feel all the smarter for it. Get your Sayersiana fix by listening to, learning about, and loving all things Dorothy Sayers!

The Nine Tailors: Lord Peter Wimsey

Oh, those bells! Tis the season for The Nine Tailors, whose story begins on New Year’s Eve and includes an immense amount of bell-ringing. (“Tailors” are church bell strokes that announce a death.) Joining Sarah and Carolyn is Dorothy L. Sayers aficionado Dan Drake. So much holiday goodness — we almost can’t stand it!

The First Lord Peter Wimsey Book

Carolyn did not expect Lord Peter Wimsey to be so complex. He suffers from PTSD, and Dorothy Sayers does a bang-up job of conveying the otherworldly disconnect some experience during panic attacks. He won Carolyn over. The always insightful Sarah liked him all along.

Lord Peter Wimsey: Whose Body?

Introducing the irrepressible Lord Peter Wimsey, Golden Age amateur detective extraordinaire. In this 1923 novel, Dorothy Sayers features a gentleman sleuth who will appear in many books to come. Sarah and Carolyn enjoyed this book immensely. Now, tell us what YOU think!
