Busman's Honeymoon

By Dorothy L. Sayers , #13 of The Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries series

From Alicia's 3 favorite reads in 2025.

By Alicia Butcher Ehrhardt Author

Why Alicia loves this book

Because Sayers took a priggish middle-aged British aristocrat (Lord Peter Wimsey), second son of the Duke of Denver, and a dilettante detective, and turned him into the most romantic man in all my reading experience. And finished this transformation by marrying him off to a woman (Harriet Vane) he saved from death by hanging, and had him establish one of the best relationships I have seen modeled in a book.

Busman's Honeymoon

What is this book about?

The thirteenth book in Dorothy L Sayers' classic Lord Peter Wimsey series, introduced by crime writer Natasha Cooper - a must-read for fans of Agatha Christie's Poirot and Margery Allingham's Campion Mysteries.

They plan to have a quiet country honeymoon. Then Lord Peter Wimsey and his bride Harriet Vane find the previous owner's body in the cellar.

Set in a country village seething with secrets and snobbery, this is Dorothy L. Sayers' last full-length detective novel. Variously described as a love story with detective interruptions and a detective story with romantic interruptions, it lives up to both descriptions with style.…

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress

By Robert A. Heinlein ,

From Alicia's 3 favorite reads in 2025.

By Alicia Butcher Ehrhardt Author

Why Alicia loves this book

Heinlein made this book feel real. The development of the moon as a penal colony for Earth has consequences, and the science is still mostly accurate.

The character of the computer that becomes self-aware, and then is lost at the end of the story, after he has become an integral part of the story and the revolution that makes the Moon independent and secure, is heartbreaking: you keep hoping Mike will wake up again and tell one of his clumsy jokes.

There are so many parallels to the American Revolution - and a use of those to free the Lunar society from control by Authority, all updated to a world of 1/6th our gravity - that you cheer for them and suffer alongside.

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress

By Robert A. Heinlein ,

Why should I read it?

9 authors picked The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.

What is this book about?

In 2075, the Moon is no longer a penal colony. But it is still a prison...

Life isn't easy for the political dissidents and convicts who live in the scattered colonies that make up lunar civilisation. Everything is regulated strictly, efficiently and cheaply by a central supercomputer, HOLMES IV.

When humble technician Mannie O'Kelly-Davis discovers that HOLMES IV has quietly achieved consciousness (and developed a sense of humour), the choice is clear: either report the problem to the authorities... or become friends.

And perhaps overthrow the government while they're at it.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress has been called…
