Dorothy L. Sayers's "The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club" is the fourth book to feature Sayers' beloved gentleman detective, the charming and brilliant Lord Peter Wimsey.
This adventure opens with the discovery of veteran General Fentiman dead in his chair at London's Bellona Club on Armistice Day. The mystery deepens when doctors cannot determine whether he died before or after his wealthy sister, whose death affects the inheritance. Lord Peter Wimsey investigates a case shaped by wartime trauma, class privilege, family resentment, and the uneasy return to civilian life after World War I.
Moving between the club, legal offices, country houses, and memories of the trenches, Sayers combines intricate clue-work with sharp social observation.
"The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
