Infos

Lord Peter has, after a five-year courtship, married Harriet Vane, once accused of murder and proven innocent thanks to Lord Peter's efforts. Lord Peter arranges a quiet country honeymoon, but what should have been an idyllic time is changed when a body is discovered in the cellar.

---

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.



'I admire her novels ... she has great fertility of invention, ingenuity and a wonderful eye for detail' P. D. James
