The Nine Tailors (1934) is often considered Sayers's finest achievement. When Lord Peter's car breaks down near the village of Fenchurch St. Paul, he is drawn into the world of campanology — the art of bell-ringing — and a decades-old mystery involving a stolen emerald necklace and an unidentifiable corpse. The novel is remarkable for its evocation of the flat, flooded Fenlands and its intricate puzzle.
