She and Miss Silver and Miss Marple are all spinster detectives invented within a year of each other by English mystery writers. Since at that time and place a swift hanging was the result of a guilty verdict, Lord Peter, who has fallen in love with her during the trial feels great pressure to clear her name in time! This book also contains Miss Climpson, one of my favorite secondary characters of all time. (Please, Audible, do the entire series, including Five Red Herrings read by Patrick Malahide.) For those new to Sayers and Lord Peter, this book is in the middle of the series, but the first that introduces his love interest, Harriet Vane, who is on trial for murder.
I hope the rest of the series will be added soon.
Sayers's prose, I love Lord Peter and I love how Ian Carmichael interprets him. I have been waiting for more unabridged audiobook versions of the Lord Peter novels by Dorothy Sayers, preferably read by Ian Carmichael ever since I joined Audible several years ago.
