Dorothy L. Sayers 
Nine Tailors 

Dorothy L. Sayers was a renowned English crime writer, playwright, theologian and translator. In the history of reasoning fiction, Sayers is a great name: she, Agatha Christie and Josephine Tey are known as "Three Heroines of Reasoning"; she is also the only great writer with five works selected to the list of Top 100 most prestigious reasoning fictions in the UK and the US. The Nine Tailors tells the story of kind-hearted Lady Thorpe who died of illness and was buried under the church bells. Soon after, her husband, Mr. Thorpe also died. His wife’s grave was opened for his burial and a man’s body was found, mutilated beyond recognition, which shocked the whole town and attracted the attention of Lord Wimsey who was passing by this place. Whose body was it? For whom did the bell ring? Sayers solved the whole mystery for us as she pushed forward the plot.
