There was no evidence of foul play nor an obvious motive for murder, leaving the doctor suspicious but ultimately unable to find a sufficient cause.Immediately convinced that things are not all as they appear Lord Peter Wimsey takes the case. But with little clues and so much time passed, can the amateur sleuth solve the mystery of an old woman's unnatural death?A fantastic addition to a beloved series, Dorothy L. Sayers' Unnatural Death (1927) is both a captivating mystery and compelling meditation on gentleman detective Lord Peter Wimsey himself.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
