Indeed, the who, how, and why were all pretty obvious fairly early. Though I admit that I've read this before, so not the best judge of how well hidden the clues were.
For me, the witty humour were what kept me reading and enjoying this first book in the Lord Peter Wimsey series. And the rest are even better. In this first book, we see some of the elements that have made the books so endearingly popular, but we also see some weaknesses in Sayers craft.
