Sayers never wrote the easy loves. I reckon because she never had any of her own. Which is just as well, because most of us don't, and Peter and Harriet are much more interesting than almost any other couple in the literature of the time, IMO.
(I do love Nero and Archie's timelessness, though; it makes me think they're still out there somewhere solving crimes, and Wolfe is FURIOUS that cable television EXISTS.)
Okay, for serious, I don't mean to be like HEY LOOK AT THIS NEXT but you pushed my LPW geekout button, and I haven't gotten to geek about Sayers in ages. I have the radio plays of Busman's and MMA with Ian Carmichael if you want those, and also a BBC docu about the books, with Jill Walsh, done in I think the early 80s.
Wheaton is a terrifying little town, super-religious (three bookstores, all Christian) and basically built around an ultra-fundie college, but their library is remarkably well-stocked. They have archives (first-editions, manuscripts, etc) of "The Seven": seven popular fiction writers who also wrote on Christian themes. Sayers, Tolkien, and CS Lewis are the only three I can recall off the top of my head.
