St. James Bookclub: Gaudy Night, 7pm, 11/2/16

Posted on ; Filed under Events

Last month, we had fun discussing Little Failure: A Memoir, by Gary Shteyngart.

Our next selection is the classic mystery Gaudy Night, by Dorothy L. Sayers. From Amazon.com:
“‘Gaudy Night stands out even among Miss Sayers’s novels. And Miss Sayers has long stood in a class by herself.’
—Times Literary Supplement

The great Dorothy L. Sayers is considered by many to be the premier detective novelist of the Golden Age, and her dashing sleuth, Lord Peter Wimsey, one of mystery fiction’s most enduring and endearing protagonists. …. The third Dorothy L. Sayers classic to feature mystery writer Harriet Vane, Gaudy Night takes Harriet and her [suitor], Lord Peter, to Oxford University, Harriet’s alma mater, … only to find themselves [amidst] a nightmare of harassment and mysterious, murderous threats.

You can purchase the book at your local bookstore, or at Amazon–hardcover, paperback, or Kindle edition-–for $10 – $20. The book is also available in many formats (hardcover, large-print, audio, etc.) at most libraries. Locate your local library, most of which offer inter-library loans, here.

Hope you will join us!
