since no one else is posting...

I'm wondering if perhaps everyone is bogged down in life stuff. Everybody okay? Everyone still want to do this reading and blogging thing?

Well, I just finished chapter 6, so I wanted to post so I could start reading 7-10 next. It's unbearable to read Wimsey so slow, but i must confess it's probably good for me.

I have my doubts about Sir Julian Freke. I would immediately suspect him, but the Dowager seems to like him and she's pretty insightful. But I don't know, he worries me a bit. And the american oil guy. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Thipps maid and her man. :)

My favorite thing about these mysteries is how they (parker and peter in this case) follow up every little thing, even if it's a rabbit trail. And Ms. Sayers writes it so well that you can't really tell what's important to know and what's filler. That's good story telling.

I continued to love it and hope all of you do as well, because well, when you find such a good character you want to share it will everyone you know.

I still want to read and all. The "due date" was only yesterday, and that's when I finished the reading, so at least for my part, I wouldn't be too concerned about the lack of posts immediately. (Although you, Emily, and I seem to be the only ones reading, so maybe there is cause for concern...)

What I think is a wild goose chase are the p-n glasses. I think that guy truly did lose them and the body just picked them up. Right now I trust Sir JF, I'm definitely thinking that there was something going on with the international investments and that Levy is involved in his own disappearance.

I agree about suspicions on Sir Julian Freke and even if he isn't directly involved, I feel like he's hiding something...maybe his past love with Mrs. Levy is involved in some way.

I am fine and yes busy, but I'm still reading and will try and post on everything in the allotted time...craziness with the kids sometimes means I don't get to post when I want, even if I've read the chapters. :)

I'm still here...I think the most likely co-conspirator (with Levy of course) is the dude with the red-headed secratary. (Or the red-headed secratary himself).
