Dorothy LSayers reviewed The Perfect Alibi in The Sunday Times, saying ‘The characters in this book have a way of making acute and entertaining observations and that is the most attractive feature of a very attractive piece of work….if you like a book to be charmingly written and full of the sort of people you would like to meet you will enjoy this.’
