Description
LORD PETER WIMSEY: STRONG POISON & GAUDY NIGHT By Dorothy L. Sayers (Audio Cass). Two Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries by Dorothy L. Sayers: STRONG POISON & GAUDY NIGHT. These are audiobook editions. Strong Poison is a mystery novel, notable for introducing mystery writer Harriet Vane as a companion to Lord Peter Wimsey, who falls in love with her while trying to prove her innocence for the murder of her fiancé, Philip Boyes, by arsenic poisoning. The novel follows Wimsey as he races to find the real killer before Vane's second trial, as her first ended in a hung jury, and it explores themes of love, justice, and the role of women in the 1930s. Gaudy Night is a mystery novel featuring Lord Peter Wimsey and crime writer Harriet Vane, set at Oxford's all-female Shrewsbury College during a reunion. The plot centers on a series of malicious pranks, vandalism, and poison-pen letters, which Harriet investigates with Wimsey's help, exploring themes of women's roles in academia, love, and independence, and is considered a landmark feminist mystery. These are abridged editions. The cassettes are in good condition.
