On Remembrance Day at the Bellona Club, ninety year old General Fentiman is found dead in an armchair. While certainly unpleasant in and of itself, stranger yet is the seemingly simultaneous death of his estranged sister, Lady Dormer. Just one day before the siblings' demise, Fentiman was called to his sister's deathbed to discuss a substantial inheritance that depended on which of the two died first. If it was the Lady, the half-million-pound fortune would be left to the brother and by virtue, his struggling grandchildren-but if it was the General, the sole inheritor would be a distant relative named Ann Dorland. And while Dr. Penberthy able to reveal how General Fentiman died, it is up to Lord Peter Wimsey to uncover when. An intriguing addition to a beloved series, Dorothy L.

I love Dorothy Sayers and I have made it my business to read all her books (especially her Lord Peter stories) This was absolutely charming!

Sayers sets the standard
Dorothy Sayers sets the standard for intriguing mystery served up with literary grace, moral compass, and British wit. Underneath the effortless writing style is the mind of a Christian theologian, who believes that murders should be solved not to exercise the ennui or psychological compulsions of the detective, but rather to protect society by defending the value of the life of the individual. Decent society was never so enjoyable. Suitable for reading in refined sips -- if you can keep from gulping it in all at once!
