'Miraculously right: catching precisely the tone of the relationship . . . thrilling'' - The Times''A must for all Wimsey lovers . . . an entertaining read'' - Northern EchoIt''s 1940, and while the Second World War rages on, Harriet Vane - now Lady Peter Wimsey - has taken her children to safety in the country.But the war has followed them: glamorous RAF pilots and even more glamorous land-girls scandalise the villagers, and the blackout makes the night-time lanes as sinister as the back alleys of London.Then the village''s first air raid practice ends with a very real body on the ground - and it''s not a war casualty, but a case of plain, old-fashioned murder. And it''s not long before a second body is found . . .
