Lord Peter Wimsey is the debonair and elegantly charming creation of "The Doyenne of The Golden Age of Mystery," Dorothy L. Sayers. One of the first female graduates of Oxford University, she wrote many scholarly works, but she ranked with Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, and Margery Allingham as one of the Big Four mystery writers of that era. And Lord Peter is her most famous creation.

So lovers of urbane, witty, mysteries, listen to and enjoy these entertaining whodunits, most of which feature Lord Peter, attended by loyal Bunter, assisted by the insufferable lawyer, Mr. Murbles, and challenged by his friend (and later brother-in-law) Detective Inspector Charles Parker. Of course, we must include the love of his life, Harriet Vane.

"No crust has ever been more upper, no sleuth more of a hoot."--The Los Angeles Times, on Lord Peter Wimsey
