The third Dorothy L. Sayers mystery featuring Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane, a classic of the genre from a writer often called the greatest detective novelist of the Golden Age-now available in trade paperback

"Gaudy Night stands out even among Miss Sayers's novels. And Miss Sayers has long stood in a class by herself." -Times Literary Supplement (London)

When Harriet Vane attends her Oxford reunion, known as the "Gaudy," the prim academic setting is haunted by a rash of bizarre pranks: scrawled obscentities, burnt effigies and poison-pen letters-including one that says, "Ask your boyfriend with the title if he likes arsenic in his soup." Some of the notes threaten murder; all are perfectly ghastly; yet in spite of their scurrilous nature, all are perfectly worded. And Harriet finds herself ensnared in a nightmare of romance and terror, with only the tiniest shreds of clues to challenge her powers of detection, and those of her paramour, Lord Peter Wimsey.

Often called the greatest detective novelist of the Golden Age, Dorothy L. Sayers was born in 1893. She was one of the first women to be awarded a degree by Oxford University and later became a copywriter at an ad agency. In 1923 she published her first novel featuring the aristocratic detective Lord Peter Wimsey, who became one of the world's most popular fictional heroes. She died in 1957.

"Gaudy Night stands out even among Miss Sayers's novels. And Miss Sayers has long stood in a class by herself." - Times Literary Supplement (London)"Very skillfull writing. Miss Sayers has done a real tour de force, and done it with ease and grace." - Saturday Review"A royal performance." - The Spectator
