Publisher's Summary
The best of the golden age crime writers, praised by all the top modern writers in the field including P. D. James and Ruth Rendell, Dorothy L. Sayers created the immortal Lord Peter Wimsey. His eighth appearance takes him to an artists' colony (based on a real one) in Scotland during the 1920s.
Lord Peter Wimsey could imagine the artist stepping back, the stagger, the fall down to where the pointed rocks grinned like teeth.
But was it an accident or murder? Six members of the close-knit Galloway artists' colony do not regret Campbell's death.
Five of them are red herrings.

Five Red Herrings
This is an excellent mystery cleverly presented with well-drawn characters, but it is needs careful listening and the Scottish accent of one of the detectives is sometimes hard to comprehend.

I love Dorothy Sayers
I love the author. The book, well it probably relies on time-tables a little too much for my taste. And sometimes as an audio book reading out a (usually train) time-table as a list seemed a little redundant. We weren't going to get the full picture. The narrator is generally good - much better than other narrators on offer - but the Scottish accents were a little hard in places. Having said that, thoroughly entertaining although Bunter was barely present and Parker only got a look in here and there. :-) I sound a bit more negative than I meant. It's just that I expect so much of Sayers.
