The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club

Lord Peter Wimsey, that most debonair of aristocratic sleuths, finds himself embroiled in a most peculiar predicament at the exclusive Bellona Club. On Armistice Day, the venerable General Fentiman is discovered deceased in his armchair, a seemingly natural end. However, the exact hour of his passing becomes a matter of grave importance due to a hefty inheritance dispute involving his recently departed, wealthy sister. Wimsey is tasked with untangling this temporal knot, a seemingly simple inquiry that quickly unravels into a labyrinth of puzzling complications, hidden motives, and the kind of deliciously convoluted plotting only Sayers can deliver.
