Notă biografică

Dorothy L. Sayers (1893-1957) is best known as the creator of Lord Peter Wimsey. Her blue-blooded sleuth romps cheerfully through 1920s and 1930s high society. Arguably the best of the leading "Golden Age" crime writers, Sayers was also a distinguished theologian and classical scholar whose translations of Dante are still in print today.

She brought to the detective novel originality, intelligence, energy and wit.
She combined literary prose with powerful suspense, and it takes a rare talent to achieve that. A truly great storyteller.
I admire her novels . . . she has great fertility of invention, ingenuity and a wonderful eye for detail.
Sayers is one of the best detective story writers.
