The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club
(eAudiobook)
Description
The Bellona Club is the picture of old-world respectability-a gentleman's retreat where war veterans and aristocrats gather for quiet conversation, brandy, and a game of chess. But on Armistice Day, the peace is shattered when the body of General Fentiman is discovered slumped in his usual chair. At first glance, it seems the elderly war hero simply passed away, but something doesn't add up. The time of death is unclear, his stiff posture is unnatural, and an inheritance worth half a million pounds hangs in the balance. Enter Lord Peter Wimsey-brilliant, eccentric, and never one to resist a puzzle. As he peels back the layers of the case, he uncovers a tangled web of greed, deception, and family secrets lurking beneath the surface of high society. With sharp wit and an unerring eye for detail, Wimsey must unravel the mystery before the true culprit vanishes into the smoke-filled corridors of the Bellona Club. A masterful blend of detective fiction and social satire, The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club is one of Dorothy L. Sayers' finest Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries, filled with razor-sharp dialogue, intriguing twists, and a touch of dark humor. Perfect for fans of classic British mysteries and golden-age detective fiction.
