Busman's Honeymoon

THE MULTIMILLION-COPY BESTSELLING QUEEN OF CLASSIC CRIME, DOROTHY L SAYERS 'An all-time classic whodunnit' Reader Review 'The best detective story writer of her generation' Reader Review 'Dorothy L. Sayers is my favourite crime writer' Reader Review 'One of the "Queens of Crime" alongside Agatha Christie' Reader Review The thirteenth book in Dorothy L Sayers' classic Lord Peter Wimsey series, introduced by crime writer Natasha Cooper. They plan to have a quiet country honeymoon. Then Lord Peter Wimsey and his bride Harriet Vane find the previous owner's body in the cellar. Set in a country village seething with secrets and snobbery, this is Dorothy L. Sayers' last full-length detective novel. Variously described as a love story with detective interruptions and a detective story with romantic interruptions, it lives up to both descriptions with style. 'She has great fertility of invention, ingenuity and a wonderful eye for detail' Ruth Rendell 'A truly great storyteller' Minette Walters 'Part of the Golden Age of mystery writers working between the wars, Sayers is often credited as the most intelligent of them all' Guardian 'What elevated Sayers's debut to the upper ranks of the genre was the quality of her prose and the sense that her sleuth had more emotional heft than he displayed' The New York Times 'Lord Peter should become one of the best known and best loved among the many amateur detectives of fiction' The New York Herald Readers adore the legendary Lord Peter Wimsey series 'Dorothy L Sayers surely wrote some of the most intelligent and enjoyable detective stories of the Golden Age of Crime' 'If you haven't read this canonical mystery, you are in for a real treat' 'What tremendous fun!' 'Exceptionally clever, amusing and well written' 'Vintage mystery, a classic!' 'One of the very best'
