Amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey makes his first outing in Whose Body? with Sayers creating a character that can grow and develop through future stories. A great murder mystery with wonderful characters and a plot to keep you guessing.
January 2010 Guest Editor Diana Gabaldon on DOROTHY L. SAYERS
Mistress of dialogue, character, humor and social nuance. From her, I learned that dialogue is the single most defining trait of character, and just how much you can do with accent, idiom, and dialect. Also, that a character is embedded in his or her social matrix, and that matrix is as important as the individual's personal characteristics.
