That's awesome though. Especially since you were young enough to ask. I was reading stuff that was way above me when I was several years older than what you describe, and at the age where I didn't want to ask Mom and Dad that sort of thing.
Be warned, Peter has some Nice Guy (TM) characteristics in Strong Poison, although Harriet slaps them down in a very satisfying manner.
Yeah, I really liked him in Gaudy Night, but he wasn't in it that much. And there were still things about him that sort o hinted at this. But I don't necessarily mind that sort of thing, if it's purposeful, if it's called out and examined, you know? It's when it's unconscious, like I'm supposed to like that or find it attractive, that I find it most obnoxious. I have put Strong Poison on my list to start! Then I may have to reread Gaudy Night, once I've read the first two. What a hardship, reading books. :D
