"Subtle and discursive in the classic Sayers manner, Thrones, Dominations is pure pleasure." --Wall Street Journal

This Sayers' mystery, unfinished at the time of her death, explores Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane's relationship as a married couple, while solving yet another murder mystery. Acclaimed author Jill Paton Walsh completes Sayers' manuscript in Sayers' voice.

Lord Peter Wimsey and his wife Harriet Vane have returned from their honeymoon and are settling into their life together in 1930s London. But then murder strikes close to home when a woman in their own social circle is murdered. As Lord Peter and Harriet are drawn into solving the crime, they also grapple with issues surrounding their own marriage and family life.

Dorothy Leigh Sayers (1893-1957) was born in Oxford, England. She was one of the first women to graduate from Oxford University, in 1915, with class honors in modern languages. She published her first novel (Whose Body? also published unabridged by Audio Partners is also available from AudioBooks Online.) in 1923, introducing aristocratic sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey. During the last twenty years of her life, she wrote only scholarly works and spiritual introspection. Despite her scholarship, she is best known as "the Doyenne of the Golden Age of the Mystery." Strong Poison, which introduces Harriet Vane, published unabridged by The Audio Partners is also available from Audiobooks Online.
