I think among all these Sherlockians on the forum there are as well some admirers of Lord Peter Wimsey (whatever they may be called). Like myself. So if anyone wants to discuss, joke about or do whatever she/he wishes to do with regard to DLS and her famous detective, feel free to do it here.
I discovered the books (in German) when I was about eleven or twelve and watched the old BBC series with Ian Carmichael. Later on I read them all in English and have returned to them again and again.
Lord Peter's a totally different type of detective (and man) than Sherlock but fascinating in his own way.

About time! Ask me why I chose Harriet as my nick Now I can Peter-fangirl a little here - or isn't that appropriate?
I didn't see much of the film versions, and what I saw didn't get too much on me, alas - but, how funny, how intelligent, how brilliant, how observing books they are.

Look who's answering. Apart from the fact that he's witty and charming and the cases are really good and that I like the era in which they're set they also tell a wonderful love story. And I mean love story with a great female hero. I'll never forget the proposal after the Bach concert at Oxford.
