About this audiobook
Book #3 in the Lord Peter Wimsey detective series.
"It's the little things that don't fit in that matter."
When the elderly but very wealthy Miss Agatha Dawson dies suddenly and without any clear medical cause, Lord Peter Wimsey senses that something is amiss and refuses to let the case rest—even though there is no proof of wrongdoing, no obvious method, and no apparent motive for murder. In one of Dorothy L. Sayers' most quietly chilling mysteries, Wimsey uncovers a web of inheritance complications, hidden identities, and a murderer who relies on a method so subtle that even medical science can't easily detect it.
Dorothy L. Sayers (1893—1957) was an English novelist, playwright, essayist, and is regarded as one of the four "Queens of Crime" alongside Agatha Christie, Margery Allingham and Ngaio Marsh. Best known for creating the aristocratic sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey, Sayers takes the mystery genre beyond simple puzzle-solving and combines a sharp wit with complex plotting, detailed character development and social commentary. Her Lord Peter Wimsey stories have been adapted for radio and television several times, and her blend of humour, erudition, and narrative precision stands as a bridge between classic puzzle mysteries and the more character‑driven crime fiction of today.
