![]() ![]() His sexton has made an unpleasant discovery in the graveyard. The grave of Lady Thorpe, wife of the local squire, has been used to hide another body, a man with a mutilated face and both of his hands missing. Obviously, the multi-talented Wimsey has bell-ringing skills…Ī few months later, the Rector has occasion to call on Lord Peter’s help again. Theodore is an obsessive bell ringer and before long has persuaded Lord Peter to participate in a record-breaking all-night peal. They are taken in by the kindly but eccentric Theodore Venables, Rector of the parish of Fenchurch St Paul. On a snowy night in the East Anglian fens, Lord Peter Wimsey has driven off the road across one of the sudden right-angled turns that they think is a good idea out there (believe me they’re scary). His Daimler is stuck in a ditch and he and his faithful manservant Bunter have to trudge to the nearest village to seek shelter and a mechanic, in that order.
