Description
A Presumption of Death by Dorothy L. Sayers and Jill Paton Walsh is a gripping mystery set against the backdrop of wartime England. In 1940, Lady Peter Wimsey and her children have taken refuge in the countryside, but the war has brought its own brand of danger and excitement to their new home. When a body is found on the ground during an air raid practice, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary death. As the investigation unfolds, a second body is discovered, and the villagers are shocked to learn that they are dealing with a case of murder. The author's masterful handling of tone and atmosphere brings the story to life, capturing the glamour and intrigue of the RAF pilots and land-girls who are causing a stir in the village. The result is a thrilling and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of the genre. With its unique blend of mystery, historical context, and witty dialogue, A Presumption of Death is a compelling pacey read that will keep you guessing until the very end.
