Sayers classic to feature mystery writer Harriet Vane, Busman's Honeymoon is now back in print with an introduction by Elizabeth George, herself a crime fiction master.

Harriet and her love, Lord Peter, have finally tied the knot but begin their married life together on an expectedly sour note when a body is discovered in the cellar of their romantic country estate., Murder is hardly the best way for Lord Peter and his bride, the famous mystery writer Harriet Vane, to start their honeymoon. It all begins when the former owner of their newly acquired estate is found quite nastily dead in the cellar. And what Lord Peter had hoped would be a very private and romantic stay in the country soon turns into a most baffling case, what with the misspelled "notise" to the milkman and the intriguing condition of the dead man -- not a spot of blood on his smashed skull and not a pence less than six hundred pounds in his pocket., "Busman's Honeymoon has everything-mystery, comedy, love, and drama-all served up in Dorothy Sayers's best style." -New York Times The great Dorothy L.

  • Captures the culture of the time.

    If I was rating the series, Busman’s Honeymoon would fall somewhere in the middle... The best being The Nine Tailors and Strong Poison. Busman’s may be the best Bunter.
