by Dorothy L. Sayers (Author)

Lord Peter Wimsey is asked to investigate the seemingly unsuspicious death of ninety-year-old General Fentiman, found in full rigor mortis in an armchair at the Bellona Club on Armistice Day. Wimsey, a fellow Bellona Club member, is tasked with determining the precise time of death-pivotal information that determines who will receive a substantial fortune. Teaming up with his trusted ally, Detective-Inspector Charles Parker, Wimsey unravels a tangled plot that involves those interested in the inheritance, accidental witnesses, and a delightful array of Bellona Club characters. With astute intellectual powers and keen powers of deduction, Wimsey navigates through the complexities to unearth a surprising truth. Renowned among Dorothy L. Sayers' enthusiasts, The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club stands as a pinnacle in her early works, blending a sophisticated detective narrative with a vivid portrayal of post-war English society and a whimsical satire of the quintessential English gentlemen's club.
