Fun challenge--to cast a movie from a favorite book. It may seem like I'm having a lark, but I'm quite serious with this casting, as it is one of my most favorite books, a fantastic English mystery with nobility, consulting detectives, women academics, romance, and spite. Check it out!

"Gaudy Night (1935) is a mystery novel by Dorothy L. Sayers, the tenth in her popular series about aristocratic sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey, and the third featuring crime writer Harriet Vane. The dons of Harriet Vane's alma mater, the all-female Shrewsbury College, have invited her to attend the annual 'Gaudy' celebrations. However, the mood turns sour when a lunatic begins a series of malicious pranks. Desperate to avoid a possible murder in college, Harriet asks her old friend Wimsey to investigate." (from Wikipedia.)
