Actually, I thought the last Lord Peter was *magnificently* done. I've seen the original MS at the Inklings collection at Wheaton College--it consists of very little except a few scenes (I remember the dinner party scene--the theme of authors and faces) each re-written a few times. I understand there was also an outline. The fact that the co-author seamlessly welded those few scenes onto the scaffold of the outline and added as much of her own superstructure as she did, so well that I pretty much can't tell the difference, is *amazing*, imnsho. I would encourage any other Lord Peter fan who hasn't tried it to do so. Mia
