The eleventh book in Dorothy L Sayers' classic Lord Peter Wimsey series, introduced by writer Jill Paton Walsh - a must-read for fans of Agatha Christie's Poirot and Margery Allingham's Campion Mysteries. 'D. L. Sayers is one of the best detective story writers' Daily TelegraphWhen his sexton finds a corpse in the wrong grave, the rector of Fenchurch St Paul asks Lord Peter Wimsey to find out who the dead man was and how he came to be there.The lore of bell-ringing and a brilliantly-evoked village in the remote fens of East Anglia are the unforgettable background to a story of an old unsolved crime and its violent unravelling twenty years later.'She brought to the detective novel originality, intelligence, energy and wit.'

"This is the first Lord Peter Wimsey book. It introduces Himself and Bunter, his man. Dorothy Sayers was a devil for detail. She accurately describes the language, the people, the architecture and everything else of that era. One actually learns quite a lot about attitudes and beliefs of the early 1900’s. The mystery is well crafted and not easily guessed. You will find no grammatical errors in this book either. Ilove love everything about"
