As well as plenty of twists investigating the murder of General Fentiman, this book gives a glimpse in to 1920s post-war Britain.

Very enjoyable and had me guessing
I’ve been a long time Agatha Christie fan and recently started reading Margery Allingham. That is when Dorothy L. Sayers came up as a suggested author for me here on Goodreads. And do I wish I had discovered her sooner! I really enjoyed this book and I like Lord Peter Wimsey. The story was engaging and the characters interesting. I will definitely be reading more of her books.
