Strong Poison by Dorothy Sayers | A cleverer version of Agatha Christie | Classics Club
Light, interesting and enjoyable! Her books are very similar to Agatha Christie, both in terms of the plot, characters and the tone. That said Dorothy Sayers comes off as “smarter” or a more intelligent version of Agatha Christie if that makes sense?

Abosultely hilarious! This book has witty characters, great fast-paced dialogue (with some real zingers!). I highly recommend giving this a read!
