Lord Peter Wimsey’s fishing holiday is interrupted in Dorothy L Sayers’ classic crime novel, introduced by writer and reviewer Barry Forshaw – a must-read for fans of Agatha Christie’s Poirot and Margery Allingham’s Campion Mysteries.

She brought to the detective novel originality, intelligence, energy and wit.
I admire her novels . . . she has great fertility of invention, ingenuity and a wonderful eye for detail.
She combined literary prose with powerful suspense, and it takes a rare talent to achieve that. A truly great storyteller.
Sayers is one of the best detective story writers.
