Read by Edward Petherbridge.
In 1998, Jill Paton Walsh completed Dorothy L. Sayers' last, unfinished Lord Peter Wimsey
novel, Thrones, Dominations to widespread praise. Here, using "The Wimsey Papers". in which
Sayers described life in Britain during World War II . Walsh devises an irresistible story
set in 1940 at the start of the Blitz. While Lord Peter is abroad on a secret mission,
Harriet Vane, now Lady Peter Wimsey, takes their children to safety in the country.
But there's no escape from war: rumors of spies abound, glamorous RAF pilots and flirtatious
land-girls scandalize the villagers, and the blackout makes rural lanes as sinister as London's
alleys. And when a practice air-raid ends with a young woman's death, it's almost a shock to
hear that the cause is not enemy action, but murder. Or is it? With Peter away, Harriet sets
out to find out whodunit...and the chilling reason why.
