About this listen

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

'No sign of foul play,' says Dr Carr after the post-mortem on Agatha Dawson. The case is closed. But Lord Peter Wimsey is not satisfied...

With no clues to work on, he begins his own investigation. No clues, that is, until the sudden, senseless murder of Agatha's maid.

What is going on in the mysterious Mrs Forrest's Mayfair flat? And can Wimsey catch a desperate murderer before he himself becomes one of the victims?

As with books one and two, I have been surprised by the excellence of the writing and the very modern and liberal outlook of the author. And with Robert Bathhurst's fantastic characterisations of all human life, the writer finally has the narrator she deserves. (That said, i do love the Ian carmichael recordings but they are a bit rough around the edges, quality-iwise). Please hurry with recording the rest of the Lord Peter Wimsey books. I can't wait!

Robert Bathhurst's Reading - brilliant stuff

Robert Bathurst is a superb reader of these first 3 Lord Peter Wimsey stories. Please commission him to do the rest of the series 🙏

Fabulously read!

I’ve always enjoyed the Wimsey books since first reading them as a teenager. This recording didn’t quite live up to expectations as the performance felt a bit dry. Wimsey’s humour and passion was there to some degree and Miss Climpson was a joy, but poor Charles Parker came across as a cardboard cutout.

Classic crime

Good story of intrigue and murder in a bygone era of England with a bit of entertaining wit and melodrama. Good performance.

Good classic murder mystery
