Last night I finished Dorothy L. Sayer's 'Whose Body' and I really, really loved it. It certainly doesn't hurt that Lord Peter is a WWI vet that's just a touch traumatized. And I liked that that fact was actually relevant to the plot of the book, and not just to give the character an interesting background/flaw. I was a little annoyed by the French at the end, even if I wasn't surprised by it. But otherwise it was a completely satisfying and well written novel.

One of the conversations in the book about the nature of investigation popped into my head when I was talking to a coworker about some paperwork, and made me think there ought to be a detective who's an Auditor or Consultant...using the 5 Why method or an Ishikawa chart to solve crimes. I called my dad to talk about the idea, but he wasn't nearly as enthusiastic about it as my joke back a few months ago about Romance Novels set in a manufacturing plant. Go Figure.
