By Dorothy L. Sayers & Jillion Paton WalshRated: 5 Stars
When I finished reading the last page of the last Lord Peter story I was sad because it was her last book in the Lord Peter Wimsey series and since Ms Sayers had died there was no hope of there going to be anymore. So I was so pleased when I discovered that someone had picked up the story. Is Ms Walsh's writing just the same as Ms Sayers? No, of course not, but she does have a good feel for the subject,
The story picks up a few months after Busman's Honeymoon. Lord Peter and Harriet have returned to their London residence, Harriet is still trying to adjust to her new lifestyle and both are struggling with Peter's family. A murder takes place involving a young couple with which they are acquainted. Peter and Parker solve the crime with the assistance of Harriet and Bunter.
The scenes of the Wimseys' domestic life are wonderful, and well written. Harriet finally standing up to her overbearing sister-in-law is fantastic! There are many delightful journal enteries from the Dowager Duchess as well as scenes with many old friends from previous novels.
