It is not in dispute that General Fentiman is dead. It's a sad thing. And on Armistice Day, too. The problem arises from whether or not he predeceased his sister. At stake? Half a million pounds. Lord Peter Wimsey is among the people who found the old man and he noticed something strange about the body. But what does it mean? And is that the only thing that is going to make this case complicated?
Lots of British culture included in this story. Lord Peter is a fantastic character to begin with but this book really paints a picture of what it was like to live in England following the first World War.
Three and a half stars
