Lord Peter Wimsey bent down over General Fentiman and drew the "Morning Post" gently away from the gnarled old hands. Then, with a quick jerk, he lifted the quiet figure. It came up all of a piece, stiff as a wooden doll...
But who killed the general?
Sayers is the master from the 'golden age' of crime writing. This is another thoroughly enjoyable murder mystery with the trade mark humour and great banter between the characters.
This was published in 1928 and many of the characters here are suffering scars from the Great War which Sayers handles with great sympathy.
This is an excellent read and like all her books is recommended.
