Sayers is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with the sudden death of General Fentiman at the Bellona Club, a prestigious gentlemen's club in London, during Armistice Day. The main character, Lord Peter Wimsey, a clever and affable amateur detective, navigates through the ensuing mystery surrounding the General's death, delving into the intricacies of family relationships and financial implications. The opening of the novel sets the tone with dark humor and rich character interactions, particularly through the dialogue between Wimsey and Captain Fentiman. It introduces vital details such as the General's unexpected demise, found slumped in his chair, which sparks a series of inquiries about when he actually died. Amidst the somber revelations, Wimsey learns of a potential inheritance that hinges on the exact timing of the General's death. This promising start establishes an engaging mystery, deeply intertwined with the personal histories of the characters, and presents Wimsey's quest to unravel the truth with both levity and keen observation.
