Summary

The second book in Dorothy L Sayers Lord Peter Wimsey series - a must-listen for fans of Agatha Christie's Poirot and Margery Allingham's Campion Mysteries.

The Duke of Denver, accused of murder, stands trial for his life in the House of Lords.

Naturally, his brother Lord Peter Wimsey is investigating the crime - this is a family affair. The murder took place at the duke's shooting lodge and Lord Peter's sister was engaged to marry the dead man.

But why does the duke refuse to co-operate with the investigation? Can he really be guilty, or is he covering up for someone?

Fantastic to finally have good recordings of these brilliant books. Fingers crossed that RB records them all, including the short stories.

So pleased!

What all that's going on I needed some escapism so tried this havingstarted with the first one. Have discovered that I really like Sayers' writing. It is surprisingly modern and often very funny. What makes it for me is Robert Bathhurst's brilliant reading. His great range of voices and characters really enhances the entertainment and keeps the plot straight. I do hope Mr Bathhurst plans to record the whole series.

Robert Bathhurst's Reading brings this golden age mystery to sparkling life

Nostalgic cozy mystery with insights into society of its time / surprising some are relevant today. Robert Bathurst’s narration brings the tale alive. I hope he continues to narrate more Lord Peter Whimsy mysteries.

Clever story well read, but too long. For example the plot set in USA could have been in London or a European capital.

Too Long
