    Somewhere in the lower-middle of Sayer's works
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2008*

Here we have another Lord Peter Wimsey mystery, (before his marriage to Harriet), where his brother, The Duke of Denver, is brought to trial for murder. And it is an unusual trial indeed since members of the British nobility who were charged with murder, during the era of Lord Peter Wimsey, had to be tried, not at the Old Bailey, but rather by the full House of Lords!The Duke of Denver, ("Jerry" to his friends), has purchased a small hunting lodge on the edge of the moors and his guests are in for some bird shooting. But on a cold, rainy night, the Duke's prospective brother-in-law, Lady Mary's dubious gold-digging fiance, ultimately becomes the victim of an apparent murder.At the inquest, one lie after another is proffered by the Wimsey family and the jury brings in a murder indictment against the Duke for his clear skullduggery in the matter. Lord Peter is away on an extended vacation to the European continent but rushes to his brother's aide when he hears of the fiasco. Lord Peter then teams up with his Scotland Yard pal, Inspector Parker, to find the real killer and thus free his brother -- but Lord Peter gets shot for his trouble!WARNING TO READERS -- SEMI-SPOILER AHEAD!!!Now, the most compelling caveat of this Sayers entry is the fact that, in this one, the stogy Duke of Denver (Jerry) is having an affair with the wife of a very nasty character, a farmer who also happens to be the Duke's neighbor! If that were not enough, Lord Peter and his lawyer make every effort to get the Duke off the hook without disclosing to his wife that she's been cheated on, and they SUCCEED in that devious endeavor!!! I mention this as Sayers treats this indiscretion in a notably cavalier manner and many women readers might not exactly savour this particular caveat of the book. These days, we are not surprised by similar writings but, in the 20s, Sayers was clearly breaking new ground, sort of in an anti-feminist way.I enjoyed the book, all around, but it's far from being Sayers' best work. If you are new to this renowned author of British mysteries, you might want to read either "Whose Body?" or, "The Unpleasantness at the Belonna Club" first. They are her two best, in my opinion.

    Wow!  Quite a read!
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2023*

I have read every single Dorothy Sayers book many many times!  Each has her special flavor but wildly different plots!  This one is a total romp from Paris to New York with murder and mayhem to spare.  Enjoy!

*by P***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2013*

Dorothy Sayers is one of the great writers who shaped the mystery genre. I 'cut my teeth' on her Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries, and bought a kindle copy just to have it handy for trips. As another reviewer said, the formating is awkward. But Sayers' writing remains fun and sharp to this day. More than the plot, this novel gives a picture of British post-World-War-I society in confusion. Gerald, Lord Peter's elder brother and the current Duke, is a member of the House of Lords. When he's arrested for murdering his sister's very dodgy-seeming fiance, he must be tried by a jury of his noble peers. The plot turns on the subtle and not-so-subtle expectations of class and clan that are muddied by a postwar upheaval and a mysterious death. We have the nobility behaving well and badly in the usual ways; a man ensnared by his continental (French) habits and old-fashioned English feelings; Lady Mary (Peter's sister) slumming with Bolshevists and her boyfriend, no suitable titled suitor being available, and Lord Peter outside all boxes whatever, and teaming up with Detective Inspector Charles Parker, who represents our thoroughly middle class point of view. Sayers did better in some of her other novels, but this is a great example of classic British whodunits at the best.
