Sayers is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the clever amateur detective Lord Peter Wimsey as he investigates the mysterious circumstances surrounding a death that appears to be of natural causes but raises suspicion of foul play. The book sets the stage for a complex exploration of deceit, societal norms, and the legal implications of death, particularly focusing on the behaviors and motives of the people involved in the deceased’s life. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Lord Peter Wimsey through a biographical note that paints him as a privileged yet troubled aristocrat with a penchant for solving mysteries. The narrative opens in a Soho restaurant where Wimsey and his friend discuss medical ethics and suspicions about a recent death. This sets the groundwork for a compelling mystery when a doctor recounts the story of an elderly cancer patient, her overbearing niece, and a suspicious lawyer who has aroused the doctor’s curiosity. As Wimsey becomes intrigued by the doctor’s account, he expresses his intent to dive deeper into the investigation, suggesting that the plot will further evolve into a tangled web of events where social class and morality intersect.
