Three Full Length Novels in One Whose Body by Dorothy L. SayersThe Westminster Mystery by Elaine HamiltonThe Clifford Affair by A. E. FieldingPrior to World War I, detective fiction in Britain was largely a male preserve, but in the period between the wars-an era that has been called the Golden Age of British Mysteries-women authors in Britain not only embraced the genre, but came to dominate it. Authors such as Sayers, Allingham, Marsh not to mention the great Agatha Christie topped the best sellers lists, but there were numerous other women writers working to satisfy the public's demand for mystery fiction. Unfortunately, many of these authors are virtually unknown today. This volume brings together the first mystery novel of one of the best known of these writers, Dorothy L. Sayers' Whose Body?, along with novels by two of the lesser known women of the period, Elaine Hamilton's The Westminster Mystery and A. E. Fielding's The Clifford Affair, in the hopes that it will serve as an introduction to the British Women of Mystery.

In Jill Paton Walsh's fourth installment in her inspired continuation of Dorothy L. Sayers's acclaimed mysteries, Lord Peter Wimsey and his detective novelist wife, Harriet Vane, revisit their beloved Oxford, where a long and literate courtship finally culminated in their engagement. To his surprise, Lord Peter, as the Duke of Denver, has been charged with settling a dispute among the Fellows of St. Severin's College, Oxford University. At first, the stalemate seems the result of a simple difference of opinion about a valuable manuscript. Some of the Fellows regard the book as nothing but an insurance liability that should be sold to finance a speculative purchase of land. The voting is evenly balanced. The Warden would normally cast the deciding vote, but he has disappeared. And when several of the Fellows die unexpectedly, Lord Peter and Harriet set off on an investigation to uncover what is really going on at St. Severin's. With this return to the Oxford of Gaudy Night, which many readers regard as their favorite of Sayers's original series, Jill Paton Walsh revives the wit and brilliant plotting of the Golden Age of detective fiction with The Late Scholar.

«Dette legemet her er ikke Lady Thorpe sitt legeme. Det er liket av en mann, det er dét det er, og det virker på meg som det ikke har noen rett til å være der . . . Det er min overbevisning, sir, at hans egen mor ikke ville kjenne ham igjen.» En nyttårsaften havarerer bilen til Lord Peter Wimsey i Fenchurch St. Paul, en landsby i det myrete slettelandskapet i East Anglia. Noen måneder senere trenger landsbyen hans hjelp. Hvem er den fremmede i Lady Thorpes grav? Hva skulle han i landsbyen? Og mest mystisk av alt: Hvordan ble han drept? Oxford-akademikeren Dorothy L. Sayers ønsket å gjøre detektivhistorien til noe mer. Dødsklokkene er både en av tidenes fiffigste mordgåter, et portrett av et engelsk småsamfunn, en historie om hvordan tilfeldighetene, ja, selve ønsket om å handle riktig, kan gripe avgjørende og katastrofalt inn i menneskers liv. Og en beretning om kunsten å vekselringe med kirkeklokker.

The inimitable Lord Peter Wimsey is on the scene to determine the truth about Campbell's death. Piecing together the evidence, the aristocratic sleuth discovers that of the six suspected painters, five are red herrings, innocent of the crime.
