MEDIA REVIEWS
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 WaltersDorothy L Sayers is one of the best detective story writers - Daily TelegraphDorothy L. Sayers
Dorothy L. Sayers was an English crime writer,poet and essayist. The creator of the amateur sleuths Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane,she was one of the queens of the inter-war Golden Age of Crime,writing in a more self-consciously literary style than her contemporaries.
