Mystery writer Harriet Vane, recovering from an unhappy love affair and its aftermath, seeks solace on a barren beach -- deserted but for the body of a bearded young man with his throat cut.

Discuss Epithetical Books Have His Carcase (Lord Peter Wimsey #8)
2019 Reread #2 Somehow these have become my no-stress reading. It seems reasonable to me. Ignoring the murder plots themselves, it's really striking me on this reread how very much Strong Poison is Peter's book, and how it's really all about him falling in love with Harriet and how it affects him. It's less about her. (His strolling into jail and promptly proposing is a case in point, as is how obvious it is to everyone around him that he's been profoundly affected.)I bring it up, because I



This is my least favorite of the Harriet books - the mystery feels almost needlessly complex, and Harriet and Peter don't interact enough (though the few interactions, especially the fight, are fabulously done).

I really loved rereading this one. I knew I would, when I revisited the opening lines...The best remedy for a bruised heart is not, as so many people seem to think, repose upon a manly bosom. Much more efficacious are honest work, physical activity, and the sudden acquisition of wealth. After being acquitted of murdering her lover, and indeed, in consequence of that acquittal, Harriet Vane found all three specifics abundantly at her disposal; and although Lord Peter Wimsey, with a touching faith

In this entry in the Lord Peter Wimsey series of detective novels, we find the woman he loves, Harriet Vane, back on the scene.

Lord Peter, guessing that this may mean trouble for her (since she has previously been mixed up in murder), flies heroically to her rescue.Not that his heroismor their romanceis portrayed in the sort of terms that are recognizable to most present-day readers. He

After reading Gaudy Night and hearing Peter and Harriet refer to "the Wilvercombe affair", I was intrigued and naturally wanted to read more about these two crazy kids solving another mystery. Rather misleadingly, the book that details this case is not called "The Wilvercombe Affair", and doesn't even have the word Wilvercombe in the title. It's called "Have His Carcase", because Dorothy Sayers wants to make us work for our fun, dammit. Anyway, the mystery in a nutshell: Harriet Vane, a couple

Where I got the book: my bookshelf. Continuing my re-read of the Wimsey books.The plot: novelist Harriet Vane takes a walking vacation along the south coast of England to work on the plot of her latest murder mystery, but finds the body of a young man instead. Her suitor Lord Peter Wimsey is quickly on the scene, but the investigators are puzzled. All the signs seem to point to a particular perpetrator, but his alibi for the time of death is rock solid. Something is wrong with the picture--but
