I think what I'm realizing about Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries is that I don't read them for the mystery as much as the humor -- and that was certainly the case with Unnatural Death.  It was a fun one, dry wit-wise.  Beyond that, lots of Brit mystery staples -- possibly premature death that benefits the heir, several barristers, relatives returning from Canada, etc.  Fun.  I'll keep reading Sayers. (My first experience of her writing came in college, when I read a collection of her essays.)
