From the back cover: "The wealthy old woman was dead-a trifle sooner than expected. The intricate trail of horror and senseless murder led from a beautiful Hampshire village to a fashionable London flat and a deliberate test of amour-staged by the debonair sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey."

Says the New York Times: "Here the modern detective story begins to come into its own; and all the historical importance aside, it remains an absorbing and charming story today."
