From AudioFile

The sterling Ian Carmichael has a cadre of accents and voices that superbly portray the working class and upper crust of British society, and in Sayers's Lord Peter Wimsey's mysteries his accessible vocal impersonations are a perfect fit. Soon after Lord Peter and his Bloomsbury bride Harriet Vane arrive at their new country house for their honeymoon, the previous owner's body is discovered. Carmichael effortlessly glides among the characters, and his reading only occasionally reaches a speed that is difficult to comprehend. Each portrayal includes a unique voice, though Bunter, the butler, is particularly memorable and funny. This outstanding finale to Sayers's detective fiction is a lighthearted, sharp, and scintillating listening experience.

5.0étoiles sur 5 O, frabjous day!, Mars 16 2002
"Oh, rapture! Oh, bountiful Jehovah! Oh, joy for all our former woes a thousand times repaid!" ... "You blasphemed the aspidistra, and something awful HAS come down that chimney!" How can we resist an intelligent, deft, good-humored protagonist like Lord Peter Wimsey, here assisted by his new bride Harriet Vane? They honeymoon in the countryside at a newly-purchased house, whose previous owner turns up -- not early in the novel -- quite starkly & mysteriously dead in the cellar. With that unfortunate find begins a merry, mirthful, sharp, scintillating murder mystery which anyone will enjoy.

The 30 pages of letters & diaries which open the book are slowish going, but do keep going ... This reader's first experience with a Dorothy Sayers mystery was marvellous & rewarding. "Busman's Honeymoon" is literature, if we can rob that august noun of any suggestion of the ponderous, the boring, the dull -- it is literature that effervesces!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Completely Satisfying, Nov. 28 2001
Par Gary F. Taylor "GFT" (Biloxi, MS USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Based on a stage play co-written by Sayers, Busman's Holiday is Sayers last significant statement in the mystery genre--and a completely satisfying one at that. Like several other novels that involve both Sayers' sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey and mystery novelist Harriet Vane, the novel is as much a portrait of their relationship as it is a murder mystery, and while these two elements occasionally seem at odds in other works (most notably the unworthy Have His Carcass), Busman's Holiday strikes a perfect balance between the two as we follow the couple through the first few days of their honeymoon as they deal with the shock of marriage, domestic disasters, and an unexpected body in their honeymoon home's basement. As in other novels, Sayers draws a great deal from her setting--in this case rural England on the eve of World War II--and presents us with a memorable cast of supporting characters, and the result is as fine a novel as she ever produced, particularly notable for its wittiness and sly humor. A greatly satisfying finish to a highly enjoyable series.

There is, incidently, an extremely well-made 1930s film version of this particular work starring Robert Montgomery and Constance Cummings. Although Montgomery is not quite the image of Lord Peter Wimsey, he plays quite well, and Cummings is Harriet Vane brought to life on the screen. Sayers fans should enjoy the film almost as much as they enjoy the book!

Par Un client
This is by far Dorothy Sayers' best work. It is an excellent mystery with an even better romance. I was extremely moved by it. Lord Peter Wimsey is every woman's dream!
