Who is in charge of the Dorothy L. Sayers "estate" and all of the publishing rights to the Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries, etc? The Wimsey series on Amazon seems especially plagued by ""bootleg"" editions - moreso even than Sherlock Holmes, but Wimsey isn't even public domain yet.
It's just kindof odd that all of the phony duplicates and "re-uploads" are… soooo prolific for this golden age mystery author in particular.

#DorothySayers I recently misremembered Five Red Herrings as 6 Red Herrings, because I couldn't remember how many red herrings there were.
I have always felt that this book was written by Sayers to prove she could, but readers with nothing to prove are allowed to skip it. I do not have a grudge against it, but found it very difficult. However, are there Five Red Herrings stans? I would like to meet them!

@PariMoonForest I hope you enjoy it! Another favourite on my #ChristmasBooks list is “Nine Tailors” by #DorothySayers, a golden age #mystery novel set around a church at Christmas. It’s full of #BellRinging and is very clearly an inspiration for the bell ringers in Doomsday Book. The book has nice comfortable pacing, good characters and lots of nerdery about fen drainage, too.
