Congratulations!  One of my favourites as well.  

A word of warning, however;  I was delighted to discover a year or so 
ago that DLS had started a sequel to Busman's Honeymoon - a book 
which in itself is very flawed to me (my favourite is Gaudy Night, 
for the main plot, not the romantic aside - I think Lord Peter 
behaves very crassly with Harriet up until that point).  

The sequel is "Thrones, Dominations" and is finished/cowritten by 
Jill Paton Walsh - another author I really admire, particularly for 
her "Knowledge of Angels", but this book is terrible, truly 
terrible.  All IMHO, of course, but I would recommend that people not 
touch it with a 10ft broomstick.
