@LasMa —if you’re not too far into it, I think you’ll get far more out of it if you read the two I listed first. The trilogy tells the story of Peter and Harriet; Gaudy Night is the third of the three.
OK, thanks garland. Life is too short not to get the most out of a good book, right? 
I’m downloading the other two books as we speak.
Coincidentally, a good friend just recommended the Sayers books to me to console me as I’m getting close to the last available Inspector Gamache book. She also recommended holding off on Gawdy Nights. She said no harm in starting with The Nine Tailors and then I could still go back and read the earlier ones with no upset.
I just downloaded the first Sayer’s book for $.99 on Amazon.
I would not start with The Nine Tailors. Mostly because it is my least favorite. (Interesting that it comes in sequence right next to Murder Must Advertise, which I think is one of her best.)
If you are open to reading the entire series–and why not?–start at the beginning, with Whose Body?
Has anyone read “Underground Airlines” by Ben H. Winters? Winters wrote the “last policeman” trilogy, which I loved, and I’ve heard good things about this new book.
I haven’t read it but I’ve heard good things about it also.
Thanks @ignatius - I’m still sad that there are no more “last detective” books. I may have to break down and buy this one.
Finishing “Miller’s Valley” by Anna Quindlan and really enjoying it.
I’m about halfway through, @scout59 . omg. It’s a great thriller-y/police procedural-ey story, a fascinating well-done alternate history (very subtle references to Constitutional amendments, trade wars, a war of secession), and very timely musings on race. It’s fabulous so far. You. Must. Read. and then discuss with me!
It took me two months to finish Alexander Hamilton. Made me realize how little I was taught about this era. Found it a difficult read with many words I had never heard of before. He was an interesting man.
You’ve convinced me @jaylynn - going to buy it this week. I swear you’re my CC book-reading Doppelganger!
I’m currently reading the new Laura Lippman book, Wilde Lake. It’s really good, but then, I like all her books.
The Winters’ book sounds interesting–just googled it.
Another series that I’ve found interesting (deals with police too) is the Quirk series by Benjamin Black. I’m half-way thorough it; I just finished Elegy for April.

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. It is set in WWII France after the Germans invaded and it revolves around two sisters. It is so good. I also liked First Strike by Ben Coes. It is a thriller and involves his character Dewey Andreas.
Another fine book illustrating the perils and heroics of Europeans in WWII, Last Train to Istanbul.
I liked both the Nightingale and the Last Train to Istanbul. I just finished Destiny of the Republic by Millard. Loved it! It is the story of the assassination of Garfield and the bungling of his doctors. My book club loved it.
^ another fan of “destiny of a republic”
I just started “The Little Paris Bookshop” by Nina George, very easy to get into and appears to be a quick read. After finishing the Ferrante novels, I needed something like a best-seller to read so I quickly read “Me Before You”. Also a good read, pretty obvious. I put the sequel on my hold list from the public library for my Kindle.
IMO, the sequel to Me Before You was a huge disappointment. I can’t even remember the name.
