Publisher's Summary
In A Presumption of Death, Jill Paton Walsh tells how World War II changed the lives of Peter, Harriet and their growing family.
The story opens in 1940. Harriet Vane - now Lady Peter Wimsey - has taken her children to safety in the country. But the war has followed them: glamorous RAF pilots and even more glamorous land-girls scandalise the villagers; the blackout makes the nighttime lanes as sinister as the back alleys of London. Then the village's first air raid practise ends with a very real body on the ground - not a war casualty but a case of plain, old-fashioned murder. And even before the second body is found, Lord Peter Wimsey and his brilliant wife are on their way to finding the killer.

Excellent Plot Well Narrated
I am a great fan of Sayers’ books and Walsh has done her proud. A delicately nuanced tale that continues the series in a very satisfying way. I had listened to the radio plays and at first I missed the variety of voices but as the book progressed I came to enjoy the narrator’s voice more and more.

Excellent addition to the Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane stories.
Of course no one can match the inimitable Dorothy L. Sayers but Jill Paton Walsh does a creditable job of honouring her in telling stories that are true to the style and characters we have grown to love.
