Clouds of witnesses exposed another Great honeymoon disasters The last witness said The honeymoon is over. The non-Harriet books aren't quite as held to chronological order, at least in my opinion, although Clouds of Witness gives background for some of the action in Strong Poison.

Fox Trot the Works, Clouds of Witness, Dear Miss Weaver, by Jane Lidderdale (touchstones won't touch this) and A Christian View of the Church. Also some YA books I picked up for free.
I'm trying to finish some of these (the YA books) quickly, because my reading year ends on the 7th of Feb. ... I am beginning Clouds of Witness by Dorothy L. Sayers today, reading it for the month of Feb. with a group. I am trying to finish the Carr mystery I am reading today, because I don't like to read two mysteries at the same time.

On a related note, I finally found a library with Edward Petherbridge as LPW. I watched Clouds of Witness with Ian Carmichael, but no more after that. He's too far removed from my mental picture of LPW, though the actor playing Bunter wasn't bad.
Has anyone ...
