Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries series

25 works, 14 primary works

Lord Peter Bredon Wimsey is a bon vivant sleuth in a series of detective novels and short stories by Dorothy L. Sayers, in which he solves mysteries — usually but not always murders.

The novels are set in Britain contemporaneously with when they were written, from the early 1920s to the late 1930s; the story 'Talboys' and Jill Paton Walsh's recent continuations 'Thrones', 'Dominations' and 'A Presumption of Death' continue this into the early 1940s.
