Dorothy L. Sayers’ The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club is a masterful Lord Peter Wimsey mystery set against the backdrop of post–World War I England. When the elderly General Fentiman is discovered dead in his armchair at the exclusive Bellona Club, his passing appears unremarkable. Yet questions of inheritance—and the unsettling timing of his death—soon draw Lord Peter into a case filled with deception, family conflict, and hidden motives. As Wimsey delves deeper, the genteel atmosphere of the club gives way to a tangle of suspicion and moral complexity. With her trademark wit, elegant prose, and sharp characterizations, Sayers weaves a puzzle that is as thought-provoking as it is suspenseful. A cornerstone of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, this classic continues to captivate mystery lovers with its sophistication and ingenious plotting.
