đ If you like mysteries with dapper gentlemen sleuths, vintage CSI, and Golden Age fiction with themes that still resonate today, youâll enjoy The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club by Dorothy L. Sayers.
đ© Lord Peter Wimsey is the epitome of the dapper gentleman sleuth. He hides his sharp intellect under a foppish and sometimes silly manner. In many ways, heâs a 1920s update to The Scarlet Pimpernel, a mystery-solving Sir Percy Blakeney.
â ïž When a veteran of the Great War dies, Wimsey is asked to look into the time of death, a simple matter that turns complex as a murder is revealed.
âĄïž From shell shock (what weâd call PTSD) to the shifting cultural mores, impacts of the Great War reverberate throughout the book. There is also a look at crime scene forensics, 1920s style.
đ”ïžââïž Read-alike recommendations include more books with gentlemen sleuths as well as my own book with that explores shell shock, Murder in Black Tie.
