Book Description: "Rustic old Riddlesdale Lodge was a Wimsey family retreat filled with country pleasures and the thrill of the hunt -- until the game turned up human and quite dead. He lay among the chrysanthemums, wore slippers and a dinner jacket and was Lord Peter's brother-in-law-to-be. His accused murderer was Wimsey's own brother, and if murder set all in the family wasn't enough to boggle the unflappable Lord Wimsey, perhaps a few twists of fate would be -- a mysterious vanishing midnight letter from Egypt...a grieving fiancee with suitcase in hand...and a bullet destined for one very special Wimsey."

Although several of the members recommended Dorothy Sayers books to me I could not get into this one. Does not mean it is not a good book....just not one for me.

Lord Peter Wimsey is know for dabbling at solving murders as a bit of a hobby, rather like collecting first editions. But now he has to put his life on the line to help acquit both his sister and his brother of murder charges.

A very suspenseful book, with danger looming at Lord Peter and his family from all directions. His usual, charmingly flippant manner takes a bit of a nosedive in this book, but all to good purpose.

Possibly Dorothy Sayer's most thrilling book.
