HTML:When a terminally ill woman dies much earlier than expected, Lord Peter Wimsey suspects murder:"First-rate detection" (The Cincinnati Enquirer). Though never quick-witted, Agatha Dawson had an iron constitution and a will to fight that never abated in her old age. Even after three operations failed to rid her of her cancer, she refused to give in. But as her body began to weaken, she accused lawyers, nurses, and doctors of trying to kill her and snatch her fortune. The town physician, an expert in cancer, gives her six months to live. Only three days later, she is dead.
Though the autopsy reveals nothing surprising, the doctor suspects that Agatha's niece had some hand in the old woman's death. When Lord Peter Wimsey, the dashing gentleman detective, looks into the matter, he finds that death stalks all those who might testify. How can he continue his investigation when every question marks another innocent for murder?
Unnatural Death is the 3rd book in the Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries, but you may enjoy the series by reading the books in any order.

[Biographical Note] But as his mother says, "Peter has always had everything except the things he really wanted," and I suppose he is luckier than most.
[Afterword] Although her career as a detective novelist spanned a mere fourteen years--from 'Whose Body?' (1923) to 'Busman's Honeymoon (1937)--she continued until her premature death to contribute to the promotion and acceptance of the literary from with which her name is forever linked.
