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.
Certainly antisemitism for sure. It was not a nice book. The story was so-so if you ignore the other issues.
