The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club
A Lord Peter Wimsey MysteryBy Dorothy L. SayersNarrated by John RayburnLength8h 23m
About this audiobook
The chief character, Lord Peter Wimsey, goes to the Bellona Club to have a meal with an old friend of his, ninety-year old General Fentiman. In great surprise, he finds the aged man fully dressed by the fire in full rigor mortis. A question arises concerning the time of death and the situation develops into a serious murder investigation. Wimsey sometimes seemed to have a supercilious attitude as a monocled aristocrat and sometimes became a sort of professional detective. His family motto was, “As my whimsy takes me.” Lord Peter has exceptional help from Bunter, his valet, who had served under him in WWI. We can listen to how they worked together to reach a decision.
