I would like to nominate Strong Poison by Dorothy Sayers

it's available on the Canadian Project Gutenberg I think so it should be pretty easy for everyone to read it

SA

also, although it's not the first book in the Peter Wimsey series, it's fairly easy to roll with the punches and there's not a lot of outside information you need. It's mostly a mystery novel. The reason I went with this instead of one of the earlier ones is because Harriet Vane is very good. The reason I didn't go for Gaudy Night even though it's better is because Gaudy Night does need a bit more familiarity with the corpus.

Gaudy Night was the first one I read. I'm curious about why you think it requires more knowledge of the series. I'm wondering if there are things I missed that I didn't realize at the time.

DA

It has some callbacks and references to the earlier books, maybe?

There are callbacks, but mostly the fact that it's the conclusion of the Harriet/Wimsey storyline.

I agree that it's capable of standing on its own, but I felt that Strong Poison would be better for book club. But I'm open to suggestion if you or others feel Gaudy Night would be better! Like, I definitely see the argument - what do people think? Hopefully diet_poison would be amenable if people felt it would be better to do Gaudy Night.

Can you post something about its availability? Is it something only available as an eBook? Do you have a link to that book on the site you listed or another site? Thanks!
