I think it’s more helpful when people eschew criticisms of the type of book they don’t like anyway. And then when it’s a book you haven’t read....
My own opinion is that
Clouds of Witness is one of the stronger books in the Wimsey canon, especially of the earlier books. In fact, it’s a good place to start, as
Whose Body? has some of the issues of a first book in a series. Racism, however, is not one of them.
