Busman's Honeymoon - Dorothy L Sayers - Wimsey 13
BUSMAN'S HONEYMOON begins shortly after GAUDY NIGHT. The opening chapter consists of letters and diary entries from their family and friends concerning the wedding. For fans of the series these are hilarious portraits of the various characters, the delightful Dowager Duchess, the obnoxious Duchess of Denver, the unflappable Bunter and others. The newly wed Wimseys take up the action after their escape from the reception as they drive to their honeymoon destination, their newly purchased weekend cottage, 'Talboys'. The carefully arranged plans for a peaceful honeymoon begin to come apart at their arrival. The house is cold, dark and locked, the former owner nowhere to be found, and no one appears to be aware of their pending arrival. These obstacles are overcome, the family takes up residence but the next day the missing former owner turns up - dead in the basement! Naturally the Wimseys solve the crime as they sort out the details of their new life.
