After
an interesting courtship, the gentleman-detective in Dorothy Sayer’s mystery
novels marries mystery-writer Harriet Vane in the novel Busman’s Honeymoon. Sayers
was a member of the Inklings right beside Tolkien and Lewis, but instead of
fantasy (and some sci-fi from Lewis) she created mysteries. I often liken her
to Agatha Christie in her style and setting, and I find her characters to be
well-rounded and her mysteries challenging.
