Have His Carcase

From AudioFile

HAVE HIS CARCASE is the second of Sayer's famous mystery series to involve Harriet Vane, the independent writer with whom Lord Peter Wimsey falls in love. This time Harriet stumbles across a body on a lonely beach, and Lord Peter rides to the rescue. The book contains a great deal of dialogue spoken by a large cast of characters; this plethora of voices poses a real challenge to any narrator. Ian Charmichael, the well-known British actor who played Wimsey in the BBC Television series, for the most part handles the challenge admirably. He stumbles only during conversations between Wimsey and Vane, when it can be difficult to tell who's speaking. Nonethless, this classic is an outright pleasure. R.E.K.

Book Description

The mystery writer Harriet Vane, recovering from an unhappy love affair and its aftermath, seeks solace on a barren beach -- deserted but for the body of a bearded young man with his throat cut. From the moment she photographs the corpse, which soon disappears with the tide, she is puzzled by a mystery that might have been suicide, murder or a political plot. With the appearance of her dear friend Lord Peter Wimsey, she finds a reason for detective pursuit -- as only the two of them can pursue it. --This text refers to the
