I'm just going to say it

As much as I enjoy large chunks of Dorothy L Sayers' Peter Wimsey stories and novels, they annoy me to tears

because they force me to recognise that I am neither well-educated or intelligent enough to understand three-quarters of the literary/other references and various other subtleties

and THAT's not an experience I'm used to having

especially with detective fiction

@dorothy write like a normal person gdi
