 Nice collection of quirky stories about Lord Peter. August 28, 2010
B. C. Taylor (Wiltshire UK)
I very much enjoyed these stories about Lord Peter. They are not all about murders so more varied than full whodunits tend to be - which I liked.
Not as complete as all that October 18, 2009

A series of short stories, NOT the Lord Peter novels. I did enjoy these and spotted several ideas reused by other writers in later material.
Perfect light reading October 13, 2009

No, these are not on a par with the full-length mysteries but that doesn't mean they are sub-standard. On the contrary, they have just the right mixture of macabre humour, skilful detecting and insouciant conversation. Perfect for the commuter or for light holiday reading. Enjoy.

It is great to get all the Lord Peter short stories in one book. It saves money, and for Lord Peter fans, provides a whole host of tales of his exploits. Each story fleshes out a bit more information as to his history. These are not so much whodunnits, but stories of curious situations, which are unraveled. You read them to enjoy a good yarn rather than to test your personal detective skills. Some are murders, some are thefts, and some are just mysteries; but all have something strange about them. Most are Lord Peter and Bunter stories, but the last two (from the book Striding Folly) involve Harriet Vane - one immediately following the birth of her first child, and one a few years later, set at Tallboys. So, if you love Lord Peter, these books will fill in a few of the lowlights to accompany the great dramas of the major novels.
