But when the lights go up this time, there is a real corpse By: The Late Scholar Marsh. The Gyrth family had guarded the Chalice for hundreds of years. It was held by them for the Crown. Its antiquity, its beauty, the extraordinary legends that were connected with it, all combined to make it unique of its kind. It was irreplaceable. No thief could hope to dispose of it in the ordinary way. And indeed no ordinary thief would dream of trying. But there are others besides those who make their living by robbery, others whose immense wealth and passion for collecting render them less immune to the practical considerations that must guide even the less honestly minded citizens. When the fellows at The Late Scholar Oxford college appeal to Peter Wimsey to resolve a dispute, he and Harriet are happy to oblige. The dispute between the two passionate parties is evenly balanced, that is, until several of the fellows unexpectedly die. And the causes of death bear an uncanny resemblance to the murder methods in Peter's past cases - methods that Harriet has used in her novels. I write this after reading some less than positive reviews from others. JPW has made a good effort to keep the Wimsey canon going, and has done quite well. The stories have progressed the timeline reasonably although there seems an undue concentration on the domestic arrangements rather than the 'plot'. The originals were much tighter, even if Sayers had a predilection for literary quotations, a predilection that JPW overuses. I enjoyed its sense of time and style and a good evocation of Oxford, certainly as good as the Gaudy Night sense of the University. The narration was not good and did not add to the experience nor help the book, but this is compared to Ian Carmichael who was made for the part, as a narrator or actor. Yes there were mispronunciations, yes the was confusion over character voices Parker was The Late Scholar wrong voice altogetherbut overall the sense of the place and time and people was reasonable. I do not agree with the reviewer who could not finish the audiobook. I have listened to it three times this year in full and probably will do again in The Late Scholar next few months. Just a few other points, in my subjective view: - Contrary to the Publishers Note, Gaudy Night was not one of Sayers's best, it also was too slow and ponderous. The story is contrived. Too many bits brought in from earlier Sayers books in a very contrived way and lacking the development of relationship between Peter and Harriet. Lovely descriptions of Oxford but really not as good as Jill Paton walsh's earlier The Late Scholar books. How did the narrator detract from the book? Gordon Griffiths was a shock. You become used to it after a while but it lacks Peter's tone of irony and bunter's voice didn't seem to match at all. Any additional comments? I The Late Scholar listen all the way through but it was never gripping.
