My strong, handsome boy, so full of life, became a memory, a photo I carried with me everywhere. But today I’m finally close to finding happiness again. My ash-blonde hair has been curled into ringlets. Carefully placed white flowers frame my delicate features.

Story
The first three mysteries for Dorothy L. Sayers' aristocratic sleuth: first, a body is discovered in a Battersea bathroom, wearing nothing but a pair of pince-nez, on the same night that financier Sir Reuben Levy disappears from his Park Lane home. Then, Wimsey returns to England when his brother, the Duke of Denver, is accused of murdering the fiance of their sister, Lady Mary, and a trial in the House of Lords looms; and finally, an overheard conversation in a restaurant begins an investigation of the strangely premature death of wealthy and terminally ill old lady Miss Agatha Dawson.

Not worth the exposure to anti-Semitism
It was a decent enough mystery story, though not up to the level of what I’d expect of the depiction of Dorothy Sayers as a top-notch mystery writer. There are plenty of murder mysteries out there that are at least as good, many much better, that I can enjoy without being subjected to depictions of Jews and “Hebrews” and “Semitic” types. I was so bothered by it that I read several essays about the anti-Semitism in her books (supposedly this first one in the series might be the worst). The essays discuss how common it is in British (and Russian) literature of the time - yes, I know it is. They discuss whether she herself was anti-Semitic or whether she is reflecting the characters of the time - perhaps she is merely reflecting the anti-Semitism of the British, but it is still not pleasant to read (or hear) it. That she had a relationship with a Jewish man of Russian background and the relationship soured and her depictions were a result of her emotions at the time. Whatever the reason, I’ll take the negative stereotypes and the anti-Semitic attitudes in a book that is otherwise truly superb literature, such as some of Dickens’ works. But this book is the type that I can find plenty of other mystery stories to entertain me without that aspect to mar the listening experience. The narrator did a fine job. And, as an added note the detailed “confession” by the murderer at the end was too lengthy - a mystery should be written so that we collect almost all of that information throughout the story (actually, we do), and only a few puzzling aspects might be filled in at the conclusion.
