I know it's a bit odd to comment on entries old enough to be in fifth grade, but I always enjoy coming back to these posts when I re-read Sayers (which I tend to do spottily -- one or two now, another one or two sometime next year, Strong Poison and Gaudy Night more than anything else...).
What I noticed in rereading Unnatural Death this time is that, at least in my edition, Miss Climpson's first two names get flipped between UD and Strong Poison. It's especially funny because I'm reading from a "three novels in one!" volume with Strong Poison, Have His Carcase, and Unnatural Death, in that order (which of course makes no kind of chronological or thematic sense, so I can only assume that this combination hit some magic number of pages for the folks at Random House). So on page 100, we have Strong Poison Miss Climpson signing herself "Katherine Alexandra," and then on page 428, her signature in Unnatural Death is "Alexandra Katherine." Somehow I'd never noticed before.
