Hangman's Holiday by Dorothy L Sayers

A collection of Sayers stories featuring Lord Peter Wimsey - man-about-town and amateur sleuth - and Mr Montague Egg, a commercial gentleman with an extremely shrewd eye for the untoward.
'She brought to the detective novel originality, intelligence, energy and wit' - P. D. James

'I admire her novels . . . she has great fertility of invention, ingenuity and a wonderful eye for detail.' - Ruth Rendell

'She combined literary prose with powerful suspense, and it takes a rare talent to achieve that. A truly great storyteller.' Minette Walters
Dorothy L Sayers was born in Oxford in 1893, and was both a classical scholar and a graduate in modern languages. As well as her popular Lord Peter Wimsey series, she wrote several religious plays, but considered her translations of Dante's Divina Commedia to be her best work. She died in 1957.
