March 2020 reread via audiobook: I have a special fondness for this book due to Miss Climpson. The scene when Lord Peter invites Parker to meet her is priceless!
----------------------------------------------
Ian Carmichael is a great narrator for this book. While I remembered the basic plot, there were details I had forgotten so even knowing the solution it was a fun read (listen).

This is even fun on a re-read, and Miss Climpson is such a fabulous woman.

Added a fourth star with this reread which I did on audio with Ian Carmichael. The characters, Wimsey, Bunter and the Scotland Yard inspector, are old friends that I was very happy to revisit.

Lord Peter is irritating and hard to like. As custom of the time, offensive racial slurs abound.
