Busman's Honeymoon

The New Year is traditionally seen as a good time for new beginnings. So perhaps it's fitting that Dorothy L. Sayers' marvelous mystery, "Busman's Honeymoon," is featured this week on our Classic Mysteries podcast. After all, the story finds Lord Peter Wimsey, now finally married to Harriet Vane, on his honeymoon - only to find that someone has inconveniently left the body of a murdered man in the basement. What's a detective to do? Details, as always, are forthcoming by clicking the link to the file which you'll find in the right hand column - or why not try a free subscription via RSS feed? I mean, it could be a new beginning for you, too, and there are a lot more excellent mysteries to be reviewed in the coming weeks. Help yourself!

Hey, readers of LB's blog who live in the Chicago area might want to know that my play adaptation of Busman's Honeymoon will be on stage at Chicago's Lifeline Theatre in the spring of 2009. www.lifelinetheatre.com
Busman's is a great read. I still laugh out loud at the antics of the local characters and my heart still skips a beat at the romance between Peter and Harriet!

Thanks, Frances. It's a long-time favorite of mine - one of the most romantic mysteries I know. It is a love story with detective intrusions, I suppose. Good luck with the show!
