The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club

by Dorothy L. Sayers

Overview

The Los Angeles Times called Dorothy L. Sayers "one of the greatest mystery writers of the 20th century." In this Sayers' tale, ninety-year-old General Fentiman has died at the Bellona Club. Oddly enough, his sister has died elsewhere the same day, perhaps within minutes of her brother. Lord Peter Wimsey takes on the inquiry of who died first — a critical question because the timing will determine the inheritance of a half-million-pound estate.
