Lord Peter Wimsey investigates a death with no apparent means or motive. There are lots of lesbians. The story is pretty gripping but one of the twists is pretty obvious. I found Miss Climpson's style of letter writing incredibly amusing. The language is dated by use of certain slurs.

The mystery was very engaging, my favorite so far, but far more period-typical racist language than was in previous books knocked my rating down
