Short review: a classic murder mystery. This is much more subtle than what I thought it would be I started. There are too many people that could have committed the murder and had motive. In this case Lord Peter's brother is the prime suspect in the murder of Lord Peter's younger sister's fiance. And Lord Peter has to discover the truth of the matter.

The strength of Sayers' characters are that they seem to be real people and not the super human Sherlock Homes style detective. Personally this seems like a really good version of Castle, just set as a 1920s English Lord with PTSD.
