About this listen
Discover Dorothy L. Sayers' inimitable Golden Age detective in this complete collection of the complete Lord Peter Wimsey stories, together in one volume for the first time.
Presented in chronological order, these short stories see Lord Peter Wimsey bringing his trademark wit and unique detection skills to all manner of mysteries. From poisoned port to murder in fancy dress, Wimsey draws on his many skills - including his expertise in fine wine and appreciation of fine art - to solve cases far and wide, some even taking him to foreign countries and unexpected hiding places in pursuit of miscreants and murderers.
Containing 21 stories taken from Lord Peter Views the Body, Hangman's Holiday, In the Teeth of the Evidence and Striding Folly, now published together for the first time in one volume, this is the ultimate collection for fans of classic detective fiction and Dorothy L. Sayers.

Terrible narration of a loved classic
This woman is trying so hard to sound “posh English” that she is missing the meaning of the words. Emphasis in all the wrong places, quite a few mispronunciations, and unsuccessful accents anyway.

I enjoyed every story
I didn't expect to like this, but Dorothy Sayers' ability to spin a yarn and hold your attention is amazing. I'm not into short stories, but these were so well structured and engaging, that once it's over, you find yourself reaching for the next one. Clearly a talented writer, and incredibly inventive. How did she come up with those plots. And she never fails to surprise. Highly recommend, even if it is a bit old fashioned.

Loved it. Many stories I hadn't read for 40 years.
Enjoyable and a delight. Forgotten so many of the tales! Wonderful to hear them read well.
