Remind me again how it changes Wimsey's character? It's been too long since I read the books.

I guess "changes his character" isn't precisely accurate - maybe I should say that it presents his character in the same way as in every other book, but pretends he's changed. Some of that is because of Harriet's view of him, of course. but personally I just can't help but feel that the emotional resolution to the whole Harriet/Peter relationship is something that Peter as drawn in the previous books should have figured out almost immediately. If Peter is the lover, the skillful amateur who can fit himself into any social situation, the deductive genius, the one who always sees the difficulty, how did he not try this earlier. It just feels like all this idea of Peter's folly and error is at odds with the earlier conflict of his character.

Also, it retcons the ending of Carcase which always bothered me but that's a minor matter.
