À propos de cet audio
Now, despite her scandalous life, she has been summoned back . . .
At first she thinks her worst fears have been fulfilled, as she encounters
obscene graffiti, poison pen letters and a disgusting effigy when she
arrives at sedate Shrewsbury College for the 'Gaudy' celebrations.
But soon, Harriet realises that she is not the only target of this murderous
malice - and asks Lord Peter Wimsey to help.
'I admire her novels ... she has great fertility of invention, ingenuity and a
wonderful eye for detail' P. D. James
(P)2015 Hodder & Stoughton©1935 The Trustees of Anthony Fleming

Many others in the village have said that they would like to see the colonel dead, but a number of people have a more specific interest in his death: the colonel’s young wife, Anne; her lover, the artist Lawrence Redding; Archer, a local man given a harsh sentence by the colonel for poaching. Even the colonel’s daughter, Lettice, desperate for money, says, “If only father would be decent and die, I’d be all right.” These complexities lead to any number of dead ends for investigators. The only one able to see through the blinds and obscurities is Miss Marple, an elderly but sharp-eyed spinster.

I don't know, guys. I read this because it us on a list of 50 Essential Mysteries that I am trying to read through. The author of said list was really, really stoked to suggest this one (and anything by Sayers). Like, she really praised it up. So it had a lot to live up to.
Clearly, this style of mystery is just not for me. Objectively, yes, I can see why this is a classic beloved by many, but... it kind of annoyed me a little, to be honest. But that's on me, not the book. It is very posh, upper class English, and I am very working class and not English. Lords and ladies grind my proverbial gears, and the hallowed halls of academia make me roll my eyes (and brings back memories, haha, both as a grad student and as a pupil at an all girls school. The flashbacks...). The writing of female characters made me tense up. I know that it is accurate to the time, but good grief, it is unpleasant. The worst, though, is our heroine. Yeah, she is a smart, independent woman, and that's great, but she is absolutely the grandmama of "I'm not like other girls." At the time, I'm sure it was novel and a big deal, and that's great and I appreciate it, but... nah.
The story itself is bloated and long winded and honestly, there isn't much to it. Poison pen letters terrorize a women's college. The solution to the crime, such as it is, is both obvious and kind of frustrating (refer back to my point on female characters).
Yeah. I just didn't really enjoy it. Even the iconic line about the "constancy of ducks."
It has been interesting reading someone else's idea of the 50 essential mystery novels, but this one is what has really hammered home to me that "essential" is subjective. I need a bit of a break, I think, and make my next read something that I know is to my taste.
not for me
