In his final three stories, Lord Peter confronts the greatest mystery of all—fatherhoodFor decades, Lord Peter Wimsey has made life tough for England’s criminal class. In town and country he solved some of the most baffling mysteries of the Jazz Age, facing down killers armed only with wit, charm, and a keen nose for deception. His work brought him one great reward: the love of beautiful mystery novelist Harriet Vane. After years of pleading, he has finally convinced her to marry him. Now the real adventure begins. In the final three Wimsey stories, Lord Peter confronts land barons, killers, and the terror that comes from raising three young sons. Through it all, his clear thinking never fails him, and he solves these last puzzles as successfully as he did his first. He may be a family man now, but like good wine, a great detective only gets better with age. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dorothy L. Sayers including rare images from the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College.

Three short stories set later than the novels. The second & third Peter & Harriet have children. Not sure they'd necessarily work if you didn't know the characters from the novels, as there's so much less space for fleshing out a character in a short story than there is in a novel. But entertaining ...
Three short stories, very much a cup of tea and a biscuit.
