A little about the story

A doctor's suspicions about a death give Lord Peter Wimsey a case that is difficult even to establish as a crime.

The usual signs of violence offer little help, and the people closest to the death have explanations that sound reasonable. Wimsey and his allies have to decide what ordinary behaviour can tell them about motive and opportunity.

Is it for you?

You’ll enjoy it if you like

  • investigations without an obvious crime
  • Wimsey's team of helpers
  • mysteries about evidence and inference

Read for the challenge of proving what happened when the official explanation appears ordinary.

Things You May Not Know About Unnatural death
