Unpleasantness At The Bellona Club

Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club

by Dorothy L. Sayers

In Dorothy L. Sayers' "Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club," the enigmatic Lord Peter Wimsey finds himself entangled in a puzzling case surrounding the death of General Fentiman. The general's demise on Armistice Day, coinciding with the inheritance of a substantial fortune, creates a web of suspicion. His two grandsons, Major Robert and Captain George, stand to inherit a fortune if their grandfather was alive, but the general's sister, Lady Dormer, had recently passed away, leaving him the majority of her estate. The question of whether the general died before or after his sister becomes the crux of the investigation, as it determines the rightful beneficiary. As Lord Peter delves deeper, uncovering potential motives and uncovering the secrets of the Bellona Club, he must unravel the truth about General Fentiman's death.
