Description
Book SynopsisThe thirteenth book in Dorothy L Sayers'' classic Lord Peter Wimsey series, introduced by crime writer Natasha Cooper - a must-read for fans of Agatha Christie''s Poirot and Margery Allingham''s Campion Mysteries.
They plan to have a quiet country honeymoon. Then Lord Peter Wimsey and his bride Harriet Vane find the previous owner''s body in the cellar.
Set in a country village seething with secrets and snobbery, this is Dorothy L. Sayers'' last full-length detective novel. Variously described as a love story with detective interruptions and a detective story with romantic interruptions, it lives up to both descriptions with style.
