Dorothy L. __, creator of Lord Peter Wimsey (6)

I believe the answer is:

sayers

(Other definitions for sayers that I've seen before include "They claim" , "detective story writer" , "Dorothy L. ..., British crime writer" , "Detective fiction author, d. 1957" , "she wrote mysteries" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
