Clouds of Witness (Lord Peter Wimsey, Bk 2)
kerriganm avatar reviewed Flippant Lord Peter Wimsey turns deadly serious on + 20 more book reviews


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.
