Busman's Honeymoon
Book 11 of the Lord Peter Wimsey series
Newly married Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane arrive at the country house he has bought for her, only to discover the former owner dead in the cellar. Their intended honeymoon becomes an investigation among neighbors, servants, creditors, and relatives who all knew more about the victim's affairs than they first admit. Solving the case tests not only Peter's deductive gifts but the emotional burdens that violence and responsibility place upon the marriage. Romantic yet serious, this mystery suits readers who enjoy domestic banter, village suspects, intricate alibis, and partners learning how to make room for one another's wounds.
