Lord Peter Wimsey Myster, Fiction, Crime & mystery, Classic crime
The thirteenth book in the classic British detective series featuring amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey, with a new introduction by crime writer Natasha Cooper.
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.
