I just finished Clouds of Witness. It was pleasant, with a nice bit of Peter-faces-Death characterization and some really distressing bits on women's freedom back then.
If you're around, can you edit the post (I believe you can't edit polls) to add a closing italics tag, so that the rest of my flist isn't all italicized as a result? Thanks.
I liked _Clouds of Witness_ better on my last re-read than I had before, though it is rather low on plausibility in spots, even for Sayers. I haven't read any of the rest.
Midnighters has real potential but suffers from being the first of a trilogy of which the next two have not yet been published. It could either be amazingly cool, or... not, and it depends on the later books. The set-up is perfectly reasonable but not brilliant as a stand-alone.
RG Veda is my nomination for CLAMP's prettiest art.
Clouds of Witnesses was where Sayers caught Whimsey's voice -- she didn't really have it for the first novel. Also, it's the sort of mystery with a map of the house, which is of course isolated -- it always is in that sort of mystery.
