Miss Dorothy L. Sayers
The looking back tonight is to be done by an expert in all things appertaining to detective fiction. Not only did Dorothy L. Sayers edit 'Great Short Stories of Detection, Mystery and Horror', but she is an acknowledged master of this form of story herself. Her numberless admirers are familiar with the many books from her pen which have been published since 1917, and readers of The Radio Times will remember being thrilled by stories round Lord Peter Wimsey, published in two recent Christmas Numbers. The same Lord Peter as the one who viewed the body - one of her best known books. Lord Peter's exploits appeal to the connoisseurs of detective fiction; they are worked out with the utmost scientific ingenuity, and never depend for their interest merely upon thrills.
