Lord Peter examina el cadáver

The stories often mix clever dialogue with darker themes. I’m curious how she manages to keep Lord Peter charming without undermining the gravity of the crimes.

The way class plays into motives and characters feels very deliberate. I wonder if Sayers was commenting on British society or if it’s just a backdrop for the stories.

His personality and moral complexity make these stories stand out. I’m curious whether Sayers intended to humanize her detective or to challenge typical detective tropes.
