Inhalt

The British aristocrat and sleuth takes on four more puzzling whodunits in this beloved series from â²²one of the greatest mystery story writers" (Los Angeles Times).  A gentleman needs hobbies. For Lord Peter Wimseyâ²"a Great War veteran with a touch of shell shockâ²"collecting rare books, sampling fine wines, and catching criminals are all most pleasant diversions. In these Golden Age whodunits, â²²Lord Peter can hardly be spared from the ranks of the great detectives of the printed page" (The New York Times).  The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club: On Armistice Day, a wealthy general dies in his club, surrounded by fellow veteransâ²"while across town his sister also dies suspiciously, throwing a half-million-pound inheritance into turmoil. Now club member Lord Peter Wimsey must fight an uphill battle to solve the case.  Strong Poison: Lord Peter Wimsey comes to the trial of Harriet Vane for a glimpse at one of the most engaging murder cases London has seen in years. There is little doubt the woman will face the hangman. A mildly popular mystery novelist, she stands accused of poisoning her fiancé, a literary author and well-known advocate of free love. But as Lord Peter watches Harriet in the dock, he begins to doubt her guiltâ²"and to fall in love.  The Five Red Herrings: In the idyllic village of Kirkcudbright on the Scottish coast, every resident and visitor has two things in common: They either fish or paint (or both), and they all hate Sandy Campbell. So when the painterâ²s body is found at the bottom of a steep hill, Wimsey suspects someoneâ²s taken a creative approach to the art of murder.  Have His Carcase: Harriet Vane has gone on vacation to forget her recent murder trial and, more importantly, to forget the man who cleared her nameâ²"the dapper, handsome, and maddening Lord Peter Wimsey. But when she finds a dead body on the beach, only the gentleman sleuth can help her solve a murder after all the evidence has washed out to sea.  Â
