### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life and Death and the Tolling of the Bells ("Nine Tailors make a man...")
*by A***L on January 12, 2013*

I love the Lord Peter Mysteries, and to me this is one of the finest. I've read it several times over the years and have always found it entertaining, scary, and moving.Dorothy Sayers was an incredible writer, and The Nine Tailors is one of her great triumphs, offering readers a poignant mystery scenario when Lord Peter is stranded in a small parish on a winter's night, and somehow finds himself joining in with a bout of change-ringing. Sayers' knowledge of this ancient art goes beyond the musical and into the mathematical, yet it is never dull, and the writing is so good you can almost hear the different bells of Fenchurch St. Paul ringing across the mournful countryside.As always, the genius of Sayers lies in the rich characters, led by the always-fascinating Lord Peter, who is at his best here -- approachable, kind, human and interested in all those around him. The faithful Bunter adds a dash of humor and steadfast loyalty, as do the townspeople they meet, from the gentle rector and his wife, to a likeable thief, to the young teenaged girl who becomes Lord Peter's surprising partner in sleuthing.Meanwhile: While I've read other reviews here calling Lord Peter 'stuffy' or arrogant, I just can't agree. Is Lord Peter the very picture of the British Lord? Of course, in some ways. But the character's genius is that he may look like one thing yet be quite another. Lord Peter has the ability not only to appear either charming or foolish as needed, but even more importantly, he's a genius able to be at home -- and to make others at home -- wherever he goes, from a small parish church, to a 1930s ad agency, whether in a gathering of reformed street criminals -- or a dissolute socialite's drug den."The Nine Tailors" is a superb book, and an excellent introduction to Lord Peter (although I do hope if you like this, you'll go back and start it all properly with "Whose Body?" and continue along in order from there)! It's a book that goes beyond satisfying as a mystery, to satisfying the soul as an excellent novel. You may think of the rolling bells more than once after reading it, and the haunting line that "Nine Tailors make a man." I found it unforgettable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable and engrossing
*by C***X on July 18, 2024*

An atmospheric mystery set on the fens among small villages with big churches that are home to a panoply of bells. The bells are perhaps the main focus of the story, which spends a lot of time explaining the tradition of bell ringing in England in all its mathematical complexity. I can't say that I understood it much better by the end of the book, but the amount of care and thought that goes into it was abundantly clear. The next focus of the story is the characters, from the forgetful pastor who takes good care of his flock to the keeper of the locks nearby who has told all the authorities they are in need of replacement, yet none of them will take responsibility. There is a wealthy, landed family, some of whom are liked in the village, some not, and an assortment of farmers and maids and storekeepers. Into this milieu, Lord Peter arrives with his manservant, just in time to help at an important bell ringing event and to be on hand when a body is discovered.The mystery itself, with its layers and layers of discovery, seemed almost secondary to the place and the people. In fact, the resolution to it comes late and is a matter of some happenstance. I also found myself a bit distracted by the amount of time Lord Peter spent with the rector, and what he did in the interim, but the upper class was always free to come and go I suppose. At any rate, these are minor quibbles in an otherwise enjoyable and engrossing book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most Excellent
*by E***N on March 22, 2025*

What a great read and mystery. The best by Sayers so far in my reading of all of her Lord Peter Wimsey books and stories.
