Product Description

From AudioFile

HAVE HIS CARCASE is the second of Sayer's famous mystery series to involve Harriet Vane, the independent writer with whom Lord Peter Wimsey falls in love. This time Harriet stumbles across a body on a lonely beach, and Lord Peter rides to the rescue. The book contains a great deal of dialogue spoken by a large cast of characters; this plethora of voices poses a real challenge to any narrator. Ian Charmichael, the well-known British actor who played Wimsey in the BBC Television series, for the most part handles the challenge admirably. He stumbles only during conversations between Wimsey and Vane, when it can be difficult to tell who's speaking. Nonethless, this classic is an outright pleasure. R.E.K.

Lord Wimsey's special detecting talent is more evident than ever in this lively "whodunit." 2 cassettes. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0�toiles sur 5 I give Petherbridge 5 stars; Audio gets 4 due to abridgement, Avril 17 2004

Par Un client

This review is from: Have His Carcase (Audio Cassette)

The reviews I value most on amazon are those for audio books, because not only does the quality of the writing need to be ascertained, but also the quality of the reader -- a much more nebulus and subjective thing to assess. I have several of my favorite Sayers novels on audio, and the Petherbridge ones are my preference, despite their being abridged. David Case also does an excellent job on his narration of Whose Body. But I must add my support to the previous post which noted that Ian Carmichael can be difficult to follow. Carmichael does a decent Whimsey, but cannot bend his voice enough to create distinct characters beyond Whimsey. All too often I find myself backing up to replay episodes of conversation because I can't keep track of WHO is talking -- and this is despite having read the book! I cannot recommend the Carmichael readings to those unfamilar with the original works. Start with Petherbridge instead.

Par	Gary F. Taylor "GFT" (Biloxi, MS USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Have His Carcase (Mass Market Paperback)

The story is extremely convoluted and the solution of the mystery rests upon complex ideas that Sayers fails to present in an attention-holding way; indeed, this is perhaps Sayers' weakest effort in the Wimsey series. Certainly worth the effort for Sayers fans, but other readers would be wise to select Clouds of Witness, Gaudy Night, Murder Must Advertise, or Busman's Honeymoon.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Great book, but read Strong Poison first, Juil 28 2001

Par	Gray (midwest) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Have His Carcase (Mass Market Paperback)

All of Dorothy Sayers' mysteries are worth reading. She has a command of English and a story-telling ability that makes her, in my opinion, one of the two greatest mystery writers of the twentieth century. Most of Ms. Sayers' mysteries feature Lord Peter, second son of the Duke of Denver. He is one of the most delightful characters in English literature and well worth meeting in any of Ms. Sayers books. Most of the Lord Peter mysteries stand alone and can be read without worrying about sequence. However four of the mysteries involve Harriet Vane, and for maximum enjoyment, those four mysteries should be read in order. Strong Poison describes the first meeting between Harriet and Lord Peter. Have His Carcase explores the relationship between the two of them as they investigate the death of a man whose body Harriet discovers while hiking along a deserted beach. The interaction between the two of them can best be understood and appreciated if Strong Poison is read first. Have His Carcase may be the least enjoyable of the four romance-mysteries involving Harriet, but this book leads to the final two books in the series, and those two books are the finest romance-mysteries ever written.

5.0�toiles sur 5 A great classic story with Peter Wimsey and Harriet too
This is a long, complex classic story which turns a lot on times and alibis all of which, of course, are completely misleading. Read more

I recommend this book primarily because it contains Lord Wimsey and Harriet's solution of a Playfair cipher. Read more

3.0�toiles sur 5 Well written but convoluted
The story was a very interesting crimesolver type of novel. Parts of the solution were glossed over quickly leaving confusion and other parts were explained ad nauseum. Read more
