This is 100% plausible, but I hope you don't go around trying to tell Alleyn he was influenced by that obnoxious Wimsey kid. Good police work is its own reward and he hardly ever thinks about the o.w.k. at all except when some overzealous and underinformed reporter decides that all crime-scene-haunting poshos are the same person.
(Peter is all too delighted to tell the press about how Alleyn's sterling qualities and steadfast friendship have informed his career. Alleyn, needless to say, rather wishes he wouldn't).
