Dorothy Sayers has an unexpected problem on her hands, a dead man in her dining room, one who has cheekily written her a farewell love note before shooting himself. And when police label this carefully staged "suicide" murder, Dorothy is the prime suspect. Now she must ask for a little help from her friends. Namely, her Detective Club colleagues, A.A. Milne, E.C. Bentley, Anthony Berkeley, and of course, Agatha Christie, whose reaction to all of this damning evidence against Dorothy is "stuff and nonsense." The author has created characters based on these great myster writers, for after all, who could be better at solving a village murder than the creator of Miss Marple? And soon the two doyennes of mystery are hot on the trail of the real killer - as, moment by moment, Dorothy Sayer's reputation and her life slip closer to disaster.
