Acerca de esta escucha
General Fentiman is found dead on the afternoon of November 11 in his armchair at the Bellona Club—just hours after the passing of his wealthy estranged sister. At ninety years old, his physician certifies death by natural causes.
The important question, then, is not how he died, but when, as the answer determines the fate of an inheritance worth half a million pounds. If he died after his sister, her fortune stands to go to his grandsons, who are sorely in need of the funds.
However, if his sister outlived him—even if only briefly—the money instead goes to his sister's companion, Ann Dorland. Fellow Bellona Club member and amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey has to untangle a series of events to determine the general's precise time of death—and figure out if it was, in fact, a result of natural causes.

Historia
The first three mysteries for Dorothy L. Sayers' aristocratic sleuth: first, a body is discovered in a Battersea bathroom, wearing nothing but a pair of pince-nez, on the same night that financier Sir Reuben Levy disappears from his Park Lane home. Then, Wimsey returns to England when his brother, the Duke of Denver, is accused of murdering the fiance of their sister, Lady Mary, and a trial in the House of Lords looms; and finally, an overheard conversation in a restaurant begins an investigation of the strangely premature death of wealthy and terminally ill old lady Miss Agatha Dawson.

When copywriter Victor Dean falls to his death on the stairs of Pym's Advertising Agency, everyone assumes it was an unfortunate accident. His replacement doesn't think so and begins asking a lot of questions. The new man is something of a mystery to his colleagues, and he certainly dresses well considering his meagre writer's salary.

The elegant, intelligent amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey is one of detective literature's most popular creations. Ian Carmichael is the personification of Dorothy L. Sayers' charming investigator in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation. The dignified calm of the Bellona Club is shattered when Lord Wimsey finds General Fentiman dead in his favourite chair. A straighforward death by natural causes? Perhaps... but why can no one remember seeing the general the day he died?

Historia
Dorothy L Sayers was a woman of contrasts. A strong Christian, she had a baby by a man she did not love - out of wedlock. Possessing a fierce intellect, she translated Dante - and also created one of the most popular fictional detectives ever, in Lord Peter Wimsey. With no new biographies on Sayers having been published for some time, Colin Duriez reassesses her, her life, her writings, her studies and her faith. Drawing on previously unpublished material, particularly her collected letters, he brings to life a fascinating woman.

Loved it. Repeat listen
Possibly my favorite yet. I love the deeper glimpse you get into Wimsey and the depth of his personality and good points. A solid installment in the Wimsey series, with Sayers classic incisive humor, social commentary, and skill. Mark Meadows does a wonderful job, giving life and clear personality to all the characters. His Wimsey is a delight. I’m so disappointed that the whole series read by Meadows isn’t recorded and available.

Pleasentness through the Meadows
Sayers is always on form. It was said that she fell in love with Whimsey. I certainly have. Anyway, I wanted to review this audio for the performance. Meadows triumphs. I highly recommend his narration. Cheerio!

Mark Meadows really brings out Lord Wimsey
Dorothy Sayers wrote some really good detective stories and so far this one is my favorite. It was quite the roller coaster ride all the way to the end. Mark Meadows has a real flair for voices and accents, especially men, in his performances. I enjoyed this story from the beginning and it was worth the credit I spent on it.

Kept me guessing in the best way!
The mystery is fascinating and unpredictable. The plot is lifelike without being dull, and isn't cheapened by the fact that it's an entire sequence of twists and turns. Sayers doesn't go in for cheesy dramatic reveals with every reversal, so it doesn't get tiring or feel contrived when the track changes.
A magnificent performance by Mark Meadows, too. The characters are well-acted and distinct from each other, and when strong emotion is called for, it's conveyed well without being maudlin. I can't wait for the next one!

Not the best of the Lord Peter stories but still enjoyable. Ian Carmichael and Edward Petherbridge were the best narrators of the Wolsey books but this narrator was also very good. Great listen.
