Thrones, Dominations Lord Peter Wimsey

Gentleman detective Lord Peter Wimsey starred in eleven novels and a number of short stories by Dorothy L Sayers, between 1923 and 1942. A dilettante who solves mysteries for his own amusement, Wimsey is an archetype for the British gentleman detective. He is often assisted by his valet and former batman, Mervyn Bunter; by his good friend and later brother-in-law, police detective Charles Parker; and finally by Harriet Vane, who becomes his wife.

Jill Paton Walsh, was an English novelist, best known for her Booker prize-nominated novel ‘Knowledge of Angels’ and for completing and continuing the work of Dorothy L. Sayers on the Peter Wimsey-Harriet Vane mysteries.

In 1998, at the request of the Sayers estate, Walsh completed Dorothy L. Sayers's unfinished Wimsey-Vane novel ‘Thrones, Dominations’, which received high acclaim. In 2002, she followed this up with another Wimsey novel ‘A Presumption of Death’, based upon notes by Sayers. Two wholly original Wimsey novels then followed. In 2010, Walsh released ‘The Attenbury Emeralds’; her last addition to the series, ‘The Late Scholar’, was published in 2013.

Thrones, Dominations
Lord Peter Wimsey and his wife Harriet Vane are settling into their new life together in 1930s London. But when murder strikes in their own social circle, Harriet becomes drawn into a very unexpected case…

Dorothy L. Sayers began writing Thrones, Dominations in 1936. Pressure of work led her to set it aside, but she never returned to it. Later the trustees of the Sayers estate asked Jill Paton Walsh to complete it. The result is worthy of the mistress of the golden age of the crime novel.
