Commenting here because it seems related to the portrayal of the "Jew" in SP. I've just started Whose Body?, the first Peter Wimsey story and Lord" is it OBSESSED the fact the missing man is "A Jew" "A Hebrew", "Jewish" "a Semite" etc, etc. The overwhelming frequency of comments like "I’m sure some Jews are very good people" (Dowager) "A good Jew can be a good man" (Bunter) is distracting and annoying. If Orczy cops flak for being anti-Semitic, then Sayers DEFINITELY should too in that horridly patronising condescending sort of way that pretends it's not racist.
