This is the first Book in the Harriet Vane series.

I have always been an Agatha Christie fan. My first encounter with Dorothy L. Sayers was the Mobile Mystery Theater series showing on PBS. Naturally, the TV media cannot capture all the details you would pick up from reading the book, so I read the book. That added more depth to the story, and now I appreciate Dorothy L. Sayers more than Agatha Christie. Dorothy not only fleshes out her characters better but also takes side trips into philosophy and psychology, making the story much more interesting. And just when you say, "What is the relevance to this conversation?" it is wrapped up in the final solution. This is the first of a four-book series. The story is complete and can be used as a stand-alone story. The notorious Harriet Vane is on trial for poisoning her previous live-in lover. Naturally, Lord Peter Wimsey, falling in love with her, is determined that she is innocent and will prove this. To save her reputation, he must find the real culprit (if there is one) because if Harriet gets off on a technicality, she will always be under suspicion.
