This well-preserved softcover edition of the original British release is in near fine condition, with no marks or tears and only minimal shelf wear. The pages are tight, appear unread, and the book is tight, square, and unmarked. Clouds of Witness is the second novel in the Lord Peter Wimsey series by Dorothy L. Sayers, first published in 1926. The book follows Lord Peter Wimsey, an aristocratic amateur detective, as he investigates a murder that directly implicates his own family. Lord Peter, aided by his friend and detective Inspector Parker, dives into a complex web of aristocratic scandal, secret engagements, and hidden motives. His investigation takes him from the cold and foggy Yorkshire countryside to the political intrigue of London and even to a near-fatal encounter in Paris. Clouds of Witness solidified Lord Peter Wimsey’s reputation as a classic detective, blending intellectual deduction with charm and humor. The novel is often praised for its engaging mystery, clever twists, and depiction of 1920s British society. With its compelling drama and witty prose, the book remains a standout in the golden age of detective fiction.
