I picked up this book on sale in the mall – I have fond memories of reading "Murder Must Advertise" and "Busman Holiday" twenty years or so ago, and a discussion here on how good Dorothy Sayers is prompted me to pick it up when I saw this.
I guess the disclaimer of the publisher on the front "This book expresses view that were normal at the time blah blah" gave me a hint, as did the emphasis on the nose of the murder victim, and by the time I entered Lady Whimsey's full-page rant about "All of us are Jews nowadays!" my eyes were burning.
A few pages later, she says something along the lines "the heads of the lower-middle class often look like half-boiled calves- or is it sheep-" and I am not sure if I am done with this book or not.
