What people are saying
Helen De Cruz is a philosophy professor.
I really like the psychological depth Tey brought to her characters. You also see that in the disturbing Franchise Affair, and the bucolic Brat Farrar. Dorothy Sayers is in my view another underrated detective writer of about the same period (Lord Peter Wimsey novels)

"What could be of greater joy to Wimsey fanciers than this volume of all the short stories about him?" -- San Francisco Examiner Chronicle
