The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club

Book #4 in the Lord Peter Wimsey series. Ninety-year-old General Fentiman was definitely dead, but no one knew exactly when he had died—and the time of death was the determining factor in a half-million-pound inheritance. Lord Peter Wimsey will need every bit of his amazing skills to unravel the mysteries of why the General's lapel was without a red poppy on Armistice Day, how the club's telephone was fixed without a repairman, and, most puzzling of all, why the great man's knee swung freely when the rest of him was stiff with rigor mortis. Dorothy L. Sayers (1893 – 1957) was a British writer, poet and scholar, famed for her detective fiction featuring the iconic character of Lord Peter Wimsey. Sayers was one of the first women to graduate from Oxford, and subsequently became a master of the Golden Age mystery genre in her work.
