She is most famous for her detective novels featuring Lord Peter Wimsey as the detective. Early in her career she worked for an advertising agency writing promotional material. Later in life she did not just write detective novels, she wrote plays, essays, theology and poetry. Late in life, after influence from Charles Williams, she translated Dante's Inferno. She and C. S. Lewis had a fine friendship which was full of mutual respect. It is not just the quality of her writing that makes her stand out, it is the quality of her thinking. The Dorothy L. Sayers Society keeps alive her memory and encourages superior scholarship. Full refund if not satisfied. Shelley and Son Books specializes in C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien & the Inklings.
