About this listen

The second book in Dorothy L Sayers Lord Peter Wimsey series - a must-listen for fans of Agatha Christie's Poirot and Margery Allingham's Campion Mysteries.

The Duke of Denver, accused of murder, stands trial for his life in the House of Lords.

Naturally, his brother Lord Peter Wimsey is investigating the crime - this is a family affair. The murder took place at the duke's shooting lodge and Lord Peter's sister was engaged to marry the dead man.

But why does the duke refuse to co-operate with the investigation? Can he really be guilty, or is he covering up for someone?

Fantastic to finally have good recordings of these brilliant books. Fingers crossed that RB records them all, including the short stories.

So pleased!

Robert Bathurst did an excellent job of bringing this classic whodunnit to life - a most enjoyable listen.

Beautifully read

A classic whodunnit of intrigue around the upper class of England in a bygone era. Whimsical and melodramatic but clever and entertaining with colourful characters and twists. Well performed given the number of voices. Recommend

Enjoyable second in the LPW series. All of the usual cast of characters make a return. This second story is more melodramatic than whose body, which had quite dark undertones. Impy Biggs does his stuff in court and is done well by Bathurst, as are all of the characters. The dialogue interchanges between LPW and his sister Mary are very well done, and Bathurst captures the sibling bond very well. As I mentioned in my review for whose body, I sincerely hope H&S will Re do the entire LPW series with Bathurst.

Enjoyable LPW sequel

Wonderful Sayers story. More convoluted than usual but full of brilliance and humour. Brilliantly narrated. A joy!
