The investigation into the death of 90-year-old General Fentiman is delightful-quintessential Wimsey-and listeners will be engrossed following the clever Lord Peter as he unweaves the snarled details of a vicious plot. Fentiman died in his favorite chair at the Bellona Club. Oddly enough, his sister died elsewhere on the same day, perhaps within minutes of her brother. Wimsey agrees to take on the inquiry of who died first, which is a critical question because the timing will determine who will inherit the large estate. Wimsey needs all of his amazing talent to resolve the mysteries in this highly entertaining audiobook.

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? 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."

Ian Carmichael is a veteran British actor. His lengthy career includes several portrayals of Lord Peter Wimsey for BBC Television, as well as appearances in other TV series, stage productions, and feature films.
