I knew that Dorothy L.
Sayers was a mystery author who rivaled Christie mostly because her
mysteries novel graced my mom's bookshelves. And I knew that C.S. Lewis was an
author however I was not introduced to Lewis's writing as a kid with the
Narnia books (a book series I still haven't read). I was included to his
writing with A Grief Observed which I read as adult after losing my mom.
As well as an introduced in the historical fiction novel Becoming Mrs. Lewis: The Improbable Love Story of Joy Davidman
and C. S. Lewis by
Patti Callahan
So I knew nothing of the friendship between
Dorothy L. Sayers and C.S. Lewis so I was willing to pick this one up and learn
more. I have to say I was not disappointed. Reading this and
learning more about both C.S. Lewis and Dorothy L. Sayers I know want to read
her mysteries books and pick up some more Lewis's nonfiction and possibly
finally read The Chronicles of Narnia.
Cause I mean Lewis was
the one who said "Some day you will be
old enough to start reading fairy tales again.” and “A children's story
that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the
slightest.” I take that to mean a well written children's book can be read and
enjoyed by anyone.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through
netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions
expressed are mine alone.
