I thought all hat referring to things past wasn't a good idea. Also, the anti-semitism was too much. It didn't need to be.

And Levy—who was nobody twenty years ago—romps in and carries off Freke’s girl from under his nose. It isn’t the girl Freke would bother about—it’s having his aristocratic nose put out of joint by a little Jewish nobody.

That just one example. Saysers didn't have to put it that way. She could have left out the word Jewish and it would still work.
Also, I didn't find Lord Peter likeable. And Inspector Sugg is a stereotypical bumbling fool.
And when we get to the divulging who done it, it was rubbish. There was no way we could have known all that before hand. And the details were just over the top.
