Résumé
General Fentiman is found dead in his armchair at London's Bellona Club. His passing appears entirely natural for a ninety-year-old veteran. However, the exact time of his death sits at the centre of a fierce inheritance dispute. If the General died even a minute before his wealthy sister, Lady Dormer, his grandsons receive only a small fraction of a £500, 000 estate. If he survived her, they inherit a fortune.
A solemn two-minute silence on Armistice Day, an unsupervised corpse, and an autopsy turn a simple family dispute to a classic British murder mystery when Lord Peter Wimsey notices medical anomalies. Wimsey must track down the mysterious Mr X who fled when wanted for questioning, uncover how the General actually died, and determine which Bellona Club member is lying. With the General's grandsons suffering from the shell shock and poverty common among WWI veterans, they both have ample motive to secure the cash.
The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club is a brilliant whodunit that contrasts the strict rules of London's high society with the grim, forgotten reality of the Lost Generation. Praise for Dorothy L. Sayers, 'I admire her novels .
