The elegant, intelligent amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey is one of detective literature's most popular creations. Ian Carmichael is the personification of Dorothy L. Sayers' charming investigator in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation. The dignified calm of the Bellona Club is shattered when Lord Wimsey finds General Fentiman dead in his favourite chair. A straighforward death by natural causes? Perhaps... but why can no one remember seeing the general the day he died?

Not completely unabridged
This is an excellent entry in the Sayers line of work with Lord Peter Wimsey, and the reading works well.
However, part of the text was left out. For one not already familiar with the story, the missing piece may cause a little confusion coming into the conclusion. On the other hand, maybe it wouldn't be noticeable to someone who hasn't reread most of Sayers' novels several times!

I Admit I Didn't Think This Would Work
A story with a preponderance of male characters being read by a female voice? That's what I wondered about when I took this from our public library years ago on audio cassette. But I was surprised and delighted then and remain surprised and delighted now. May conveys Wimsey, Bunter, Parker, the dowager duchess--everyone--to perfection.
Of all the Wimsey stories, this first in the series stands out as the one with the most comedy. Yes, it's a dark tale chillingly told. But there are fine moments of levity that relieve the gloom; sometimes this early edition of Lord Peter can almost sound as if he were about to drop in at the Drones Club for a quick spot before lunch.
And the story is good. In fact it's superb. But I'm not gong to say any more for fear of spoiling it for you.

Strange and Satisfying
Gentlemen of Lord Peter Wimsey's class aren't expected to take up employment, and some view his involvement with crime to be in very poor taste. But he can't help getting wrapped up in a good case of murder, and this one is a doozy: a man is found laying in the bath at an architect's home completely naked, save for the presence of a pince-nez perched on his nose. The architect can't have committed the murder and the body strangely resembles Sir Reuben Levy, a powerful banker who has disappeared overnight. I liked the ongoing construction of the Lord Wimsey character and the many incongruous elements of the story that Sayers weaved in were very entertaining. Definitely a series worth pursuing, which I hope Audible will make available in the unabridged editions sooner than later.

Pretty good mystery, but not the best
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
This book was an okay mystery, but I'd heard so much about the author that I expected more. I found it a little dull. I've loved Agatha Christie and thought this might be similar. However, there were some amusing moments in the story.
Would you be willing to try another book from Dorothy L. Sayers? Why or why not?
I'll try another one to see if maybe this was just one I couldn't connect with.

An Unpleasant Surprise
I've always loved Dorothy Sayers' Lord Peter Whimsey novels. I particularly looked forward to this purchase since only a few of her works are available as audiobooks. It was a disappointment. Nadia May makes the suave Lord Peter come across as a grating fishwife and a horse's patoot. I don't remember him being so idiotic and silly. She also reads WAY too fast, obliterating every dramatic pause and letting one character's dialogue run into the next. I doubt I'll get through it. I wouldn't recommend it.

Whose Reading?
With so many fine British readers available, including Ian Carmichael who has read several of the LPW books as well as portrayed Lord Peter on BBC radio and BBC/PBS TV, why was a woman ever chosen as the reader? Maybe the $2.95 Kindle price deal had something to do with it? Nadia May is a fine reader, but try as she might, she really was out of her depth in a book with predominantly male characters, and try as I might, it was a struggle to continue to listen all the way to the end.
In spite of Lord Peter's affected manner and the at times jarringly dated attitudes reflected in the books, there is a reason why people are still reading Sayers. If you have never read the LPW books and enjoy Christie, Tey or Marsh, or if you last read them years ago, I recommend you read this one in print only and start your audible experience with a male reader, preferably Carmichael.

Lord Peter Deserves Better
First of all, why a woman narrator? Considering the story, a man would have made more sense. This particular woman was shrill, over-exuberant, and talked way too fast. I tried slowing the narration down, but still couldn't listen to it. I was looking forward to becoming reacquainted with Lord Peter, but ended up hugely disappointed instead.

A true post Great War mystery!
It took a bit to get into this novel, but I really enjoyed it once I did.
I was childishly excited to know that I read a book originally published in 1923. It's wild to know all the nuances and sayings were true to form. I can't get enough of how the English added 'what' to the end of it all - delightful!

totally inappropriate narration
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
I like the book enormously, but found the narration impossible. I gave up listening before the end of the third chapter, and have deleted it from my mp3 player to free space for something worth while.
What was most disappointing about Dorothy L. Sayers’s story?
The story is fine, but not as performed in this version - choose another narrator and enjoy it!
What didn’t you like about Nadia May’s performance?
The voices given to Wimsey and Bunter were completely inappropriate. Wimsey is a cultivated, upper class Englishman, not a vulgar cheeky chappy, and Bunter should be a properly self-effacing gentleman's gentleman.
Any additional comments?
I won't be buying other books narrated by Nadia May.

No Ian Carmichael
Would you try another book written by Dorothy L. Sayers or narrated by Nadia May?
Oh dear! What a mistake. I love the DLS Wimsey books, but I didn't realise that this was not one of those narrated by the excellent Ian Carmichael. Instead this is narrated by a woman who speaks so quickly and in some strange pretence of upper class accent and (male!?) voice that does not portray either Wimsey or Bunter in any way, shape or form.
Would not purchase another with this narrator.
How could the performance have been better?
If it had been delivered by Ian Carmichael (or probably any male narrator)!

Wonderful read, terrible listen
I only listened to the dedication which was sufficient to convince me that the choice of narrator was quite wrong. NOT HER FAULT! The book is about an upper-class English male and should be narrated in that voice. When I read the book years ago I really enjoyed it but just the dedication was enough to put me off this version.

Yummy!
The world of advertising is a perfect foil for the wit of Lord Peter - in fact some of this is strangely prophetic in the butter department! Sparkling, pacy and full of gorgeous sounds of thunderstorms, crackling fires and ticking clocks.
