Summary
A long-awaited Lord Peter Wimsey novel, telling the story of his first case - and his last....
Jill Paton Walsh triumphantly completes Dorothy L. Sayers last unfinished detective novel, featuring Lord Peter Wimsey and his new wife, Harriet Vane.
It is 1936, and Lord Peter Wimsey has returned from his honeymoon to set up home with his cherished new wife, the novelist Harriet Vane.
As they become part of fashionable London society, they encounter the glamorous socialite Rosamund Harwell and her wealthy impresario husband, Laurence. Unlike the Wimseys they are not in love - and all too soon, one of them is dead. A murder case that only Lord Peter Wimsey can solve.

Loved It!
Great, the voice was just right! He brought the period to life, and did the characterisations well. Work needed on the French accent though.

swan song
Positively the last appearance of the rich, intelligent and amusing prose which characterises the late, great Dorothy L Sayers. Faithfully if less skilfully completed by Jill Paton Walsh, one can still recognise and revel in the characters.
Ian Carmichael remains, with Edward Petherbridge, the best available reader of these novels and his loss is sadly felt. A sensitive, well paced performance of a delightful novel with touches of the ingenious.

Wonderful, wonderful listen
I enjoyed this audiobook hugely. True to Dorothy L Sayers' characters and wonderfully read by the inimitable Ian Carmichael. The story never lost pace and the plot was good. I will listen to this again and again and would thoroughly recommend it, if, like me, you are an Ian Carmichael fan. I would have given it 10 stars if I could.

Wonderful book
I thoroughly enjoyed this book having at first been very doubtful of starting on it.as I had so loved the Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane original novels by Dorothy L Sayers However I shall now be purchasing the next novel in this series and that is surely the best compliment I can give!

So disappointing.
I enjoy the Lord Peter Windy series, and was pleased to find these author collaborations to prolong the series, but this book is such a disappointment. The writing style is nothing like the original works and only the excellent reading of Ian Carmichael gives it an authentic flavour. I'm on chapter 7 of 21 and still no crime to be solved. only endless character descriptions and the minutiae daily life - it's worse than Dickens.

Wimsey behind the scenes
Though not 100% Dorothy L Sayers, nevertheless a very good recreation of the Wimsey detective novels plus also background to his life, character and marriage to Harriet Vane. Curiously, Ian Carmichael does not adapt his voice much from one chatter to another. Otherwise, beautifully read, and so much better than some of the other dreadful readings of the Sayers books on Audible. Such a shame.

Perfect Wimsey
If you enjoy Wimsey then you’ll love this!
Evoking a bygone era of money, manners and privilege the hero’s witty dialogue is matched blow for blow by the heroine! Enjoy!
