And created a Mary Sue to act it out. The books with Harriet Vane are icky,
Busman’s Honeymoon being especially cringe-worthy. While many, if not most, find her
Gaudy Night to be her best, my own preference is for the Vane-less
Murder Must Advertise.
I was glad when your recommendation caused me to reconsider Allingham, when I had abandoned
Black Dudley. I couldn’t imagine what I had seen in her back in the day!
