2023 book 103

 Dorothy Sayers' Have His Carcase

I did skip one in this series that I didn’t enjoy last time I read it, which was fine, because that one didn’t have Harriet and this one does! The mystery starts with Harriet on a walking tour, in fact, finding a freshly dead body on a beach. Soon Peter is coming to town to help her and the local police figure things out. Lots of funny scenes in this one, and I really love Harriet. The mystery kind of drags but is interesting also? Like there is a VERY lengthy scene involving decoding a cipher but I love that sort of thing. Just a lot going on with a somewhat abrupt ending.
