... a bunch of the others. I see you're also a fan of Lord Peter's -- have you read the short stories that occur AFTER Busman's Honeymoon?
By the way, that was a great suggestion of yours about compiling a list of all of Wolfe's books. Actually, someone has already done that -- William ... ... 4 Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane mysteries. These are published in GB - great editions, now if I can find Gaudy Night and Busman's Honeymoon from this series I'll be happy. The Shoes of the Fisherman Morris L. West

The Constant Gardener John Le Carre Just started Detective Story by Imre Kertesz, just finished House of Meetings by Martin Amis. ... Pittsboro Library spring book sale last week, I think I paid $1.50 each.
One time I found a first American edition of Busman's Honeymoon by Dorothy Sayers at the PTA Thrift Shop for $.50 - checked e-bay and it was worth about $50.
And, last, but not least, I got the ENTIRE set of Har ... (#30 ChocolateMuse -- great minds think alike!)

It is actually the culmination of several books with Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane and you might want to consider reading the first meeting of the two first: Strong Poison. I ... #119 mrsradcliffe, do you mean Busman's Honeymoon? If so, you're starting at very nearly the end of the series, and I think you'd do much better to start with an earlier book. The very beginning is Whose Body?, but what really matters is that you get the four at the end in the correct order: ... ... the sea, the sea and could not get into it all, however I count the bell amongst my favourite books.
Anyone read a busman's holiday? I'm about to start it and it's my first sayers. Could I also recommend the harper's quine to anyone who likes historical murder mysteries. After finishing The New York Trilogy I have started on Busman's Honeymoon by Dorothy L. Sayers, which was one of my SantaThing gifts. This is my first by Sayers and I'm only about 40 pages in but I think I'm going to enjoy it. I'm afraid that Busman's Honeymoon was my least favorite Sayers novel. I think I wanted less love and more detection. I'm listening to Busman's Honeymoon and enjoying it very much. I decided that this summer would be a good time to revisit my Lord Peter books, so I'm reading Whose Body (the first in the series) and listening to Honeymoon. It's fun.
I downloaded The Inimitable Jeeves, The Treasure Box ... ... finished In This House of Brede which I thoroughly enjoyed. I do like Rumer Godden's style of writing. I'm listening to Busman's Honeymoon on my iPod and am going to start Strong Poison today as well as To Ride Hell's Chasm so I can join in the group read (belatedly). MrsLee sent me a ... I'm listening to Busman's Honeymoon read by Ian Carmichael. It's delightful and has prompted me to start reading all my Dorothy L. Sayers again.
Lucky you xorscape!! I'm looking forward to getting the audio version of the Deathly Hallows, but it won't be for awhile yet. Busman's Honeymoon Dorothy L. Sayers

5. Hot Sky at Midnight, by Robert Silverberg ... (and spoil it for that matter in the first two seconds) and take out the heart of the book? I wish they could have done Busman's Honeymoon though!
That said, the televised version of Have His Carcase was brilliant, and did a wonderful job showing some of the strain in their relationship. ... ... Gaudy Night finds Harriet at Oxford (both her and Peter went there). Of course there's another murder to solve and Busman's Honeymoon where they finally marry. I believe D. L. Sayers fell in love with Lord Peter. ...

There is also an enjoyable collection of short stories, but I would read a few of the novels before starting those. ... books, but, my goodness, Dorothy L. Sayers' Wimsey/Vane books, Strong Poison, Have His Carcase, Gaudy Night and Busman's Honeymoon (yes, reader, she married him), are full of "commitment phobia"! Getting Harriet to say "yes" took an amount of time and effort on Lord Peter's ... ... la lune by Jules Verne

as well as other non-Wimsey writings, at least as far as I know.
Checking my library, I was surprised to see I don't seem to have Gaudy Night ... >8 Who needs another site when you have us? ;-))
1. Strong Poison
2. Have His Carcase
3. Gaudy Night
4. Busman's Honeymoon (Note: the play came first, then the novel)
5. Talboys (this is a short story and can be found in pretty much any collection of Wimsey stories)
And most people would add, for Sayers, Gaudy Night, without which Busman's Honeymoon has far less resonance, I think.
For Josephine Tey, take The Daughter of Time (the most famous) and Brat Farrar (my favorite, and the best plotted) for a start. ... And Then There Were None, Murder on the Orient Express, Nemesis
Sayers: early one - Whose Body?, late one - Busman's Honeymoon ... (as in the past 50-75 years) unusual suspects classified as classics. Examples include Carrie, Charlotte's Web, and Love Story. Many will vehemently disagree with me. Ha yes, fantastic name! I've seen a few of you in the British/Irish Crime group as well.
Busman's Honeymoon and Gaudy Night are my favorites as well, though The Nine Tailors and Murder must Advertise are my favorite non-Harriet novels. Like everyone else, Gaudy Night is my favorite. I do like Busman's Honeymoon a lot, though, especially the diary entries and letters at the beginning. My favorite without Harriet is probably The Nine Tailors.
Has anyone read The Seven Deadly Sins in the Work of Dorothy L. Sayers, by ... ... probably my favorite too, though, as Eurydice said, Murder Must Advertise is probably my favorite non-Harriet novel and Busman's Honeymoon is very nice for the Peter/Harriet interaction. It made me smile just to see your title.
Gaudy Night is her best, but I love Murder Must Advertise, parts of Busman's Honeymoon, and some of the Wimsey stories. They're different, odd, even fantastical and macabre - but I like them. One feels more a powerful mind at play, than any ... ...
Murder Must Advertise is probably my favorite non-Harriet novel, though I love Gaudy Night and the last chapter of Busman's Honeymoon is so very touching.
I was introduced to Lord Peter via my present-boyfriend (we weren't dating at the time, when I first started reading them) but I ... I also like Busman's Honeymoon, although really I don't think I've ever read any Sayers that I don't like. I've been reading the Laurie R. King mysteries, and I was delighted by Lord Peter's cameo in A Letter of Mary. Another wonderful homage to Lord Peter is in Connie Willis' To Say No ... Katissima, Gaudy Night and Murder Must Advertise are my favorites, as well. I'm also fond of Busman's Honeymoon, though I feel some of it moved awkwardly.
How marvelous you could find something to call Lord Peter! I have to admit an enormous fondness for him - and Bunter.
