She is a most excellent mystery writer! Love her stuff. She was one of a group of friends known as the Inklings, which included C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien.

Absolutely! My recommendation: read them in the order they were written, so you get the whole sub-theme about his personal life. These are terrific books, and I envy you your first time through them!
Here they are, in order:
# Whose Body (1923)
# Clouds of Witness (1926)
# Unnatural Death (1927),
# Lord Peter Views the Body (short stories) (1928)
# The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club (1928)
# Strong Poison (1930)
# Suspicious Characters aka The Five Red Herrings (1931)
# Have His Carcase (1932)
# Hangman's Holiday (short stories) (1933)
# Murder Must Advertise (1933)
# Nine Tailors (1934)
# Gaudy Night (1935)
# Busman's Honeymoon: A Love Story with Detective Interruptions (1937)
# In the Teeth of the Evidence (short stories, only two with Lord Peter) (1939)

She's very good as a mystery writer but she's very much of her time and class. I enjoyed them thoroughly the first time I read them but when I went back to re-read I found the attitudes grated - there's a hint of anti-semitism and a very odd idea of the working classes who are all comic characters.
