"She brought to the detective novel originality, intelligence and wit. She gave it a new style and a new direction, and she did more than almost any other writer of her age to make the genre intellectually respectable." -- P.D. James

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

"A classic collection from 'one of the greatest mystery-story writers of the [twentieth] century'" -- Los Angeles Times
