About this title

From the Author:

This collection shows Sayers' influence on the mystery genre
This baker's dozen of Uk and USA authors between them give the reader a superb view into the influence Sayers has had on contemporary mystery writers. One of a kind with a voice no one can imitate, she was both modern and traditional- a true master of her craft. Anyone now reading Jill paton Walsh's rendition of Sayers last mystery fragment, THRONES, DOMINATIONS, should first read my essay because Walsh's effort lacks the certain something that characterized a Sayers work. It is an obvious add-on without Sayers's voice or outlook. ue master of her craft.
