The Crime Collection

This set gathers five Lord Peter Wimsey novels from the early 1930s. Across the volumes the aristocratic amateur detective, with the novelist Harriet Vane and the manservant Bunter, investigates a poisoning trial, a coastal corpse, a murder inside an advertising agency, a death among fenland bell-ringers, and a poison-pen campaign at an Oxford college. The books share a cast and a tone of scholarly detection, but each case is complete in itself. The collection is a sequence of interwar English crime novels, not a single continuous narrative and not a handbook of criminal law.

Bound in white cloth blocked with a colour design. Five-volume dark green slipcase titled in green and gold.
