About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Unnatural Death (Version 2, Dramatic Reading) by Dorothy L. Sayers. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. Lord Peter is intrigued by the circumstances surrounding an elderly woman's cancer death, but Parker is not convinced! There are signs of insipid evil about! (Please note that the use of a certain racially charged word is abhorrent to the reader who had to say it, even though the author intended to ridicule the attitude of the person that character was quoting.) This is the third book in Dorothy L. Sayer's Lord Peter Wimsey series. You will also enjoy our full cast readings for Whose Body? and Clouds of Witness. - Summary by Lynette Caulkins
