Five Red Herrings

Dorothy L. Sayers

Lord Peter Wimsey could imagine the artist stepping back, the stagger, the fall, down to where the pointed rocks grinned like teeth. But was it an accident – or murder? Six members of the close-knit Galloway artists’ colony do not regret Campbell’s death. Five of them are red herrings. ‘She combined literary prose with powerful suspense, and it takes a rare talent to achieve that. A truly great storyteller.’ Minette Walters
