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. The 11th book featuring Lord Peter, set in a country church, is often named as the best detective story ever written.
When his sexton finds a corpse in the wrong grave, the rector of Fenchurch St Paul asks Lord Peter Wimsey to find out who the dead man was and how he came to be there.
The lore of bell ringing and a brilliantly evoked village in the remote fens of East Anglia are the unforgettable background to a story of an old unsolved crime and its violent unravelling 20 years later.

accurate historic facts about bell ringing
just desserts for unpleasant, dishonest characters. Humourous characters. Relationships between villagers are amusing and despicable

A Sayers Masterstroke
Lord Peter will always be superb (and incredibly sexy!). Some have argued that a novel based around campanology must be the height of boredom but to me, it demonstrates Sayers' genius. What I don't understand is the general braying about Jane McDowell's narration. I have many audible books and her voice is up with the best. For a woman to narrate male characters is just as plausible as the reverse. Bravo all around.

best yet
As I read all the Lord Peter Wimsey novels in order,to me this is thdbest one yet. Although I was able to decide what would be detetmined as the cause of death early on, the writing the drama of the flood was as if we were wwatching it unfold before my eyes,

overall best performance of the series
intriguing story for both the layered mystery and the fascinating historical context. Couldn't fault narration. i typically prefer the original unabridged narration of Ian Carmichael - unfortunately not available on audible except in abridged full cast performance versions, But Jane McDowell did a great job with all the accents and various characters in this one.
