Just finished Five Red Herrings by Dorothy L. Sayers.
Great for Scottish train enthusiasts, not my fave.
In other Dorothy facts - while at uni she set up a "Mutual Appreciation Society" for female students to read and critique each others work.

Enjoying playing "Hunt The Auris" for our latest spiked sample protocol.
