Lord Peter Wimsey becomes interested in the death of a wealthy, elderly patient, when a concerned doctor makes a fuss about the circumstances of the lady's death.
As someone who is not new to Sayers work, but have not read this book before, I was not that surprised by the number of strong, modern female characters. Ms Climpson, a mature go ...more
