Publisher Description
The wealthy Agatha Dawson is dead—a trifle sooner than expected—but there are no apparent signs of foul play. Lord Peter Wimsey, however, senses that something is amiss and refuses to let the case rest—even without any clues or leads. Suddenly, he is faced with another murder: Agatha's maid. Can super-sleuth Wimsey find the murderer and solve the case before he becomes the killer's next victim?
The intricate trail of horror and senseless murder leads from a beautiful Hampshire village to a fashionable London flat and a deliberate test of amour.

"Excellent story from the golden age of British crime mysteries. The narration is excellent, production excellent - Excellent all around! Sayers' later Lord Peter books are better than the first few, but you need to read them in order to get the full benefit of the later ones."
— John (5 out of 5 stars)
