  • "It is in Strong Poison that Lord Peter first meets Harriet Vane, an author of detective fiction. The immediate problem is that she is on trial for her life, charged with murdering her former lover. If Lord Peter does not prove she is innocent, he will lose her before he even persuades her to accept his proposal of marriage. But all the clues point to Harriet as the one who gave Philip Boyes the arsenic that killed him."
  • "She is lovely, smart, and talented—and only Lord Peter can save her from the gallows Lord Peter Wimsey comes to the trial of Harriet Vane for a glimpse at one of the most engaging murder cases London has seen in years. Unfortunately for the detective, the crime’s details are distractingly salacious, and there is little doubt that the woman will be found guilty. A slightly popular mystery novelist, she stands accused of poisoning her fiancé, a literary author and well-known advocate of free love. Over the course of a few weeks, she bought strychnine, prussic acid, and arsenic, and when her lover died the police found enough poison in his veins to kill a horse. But as Lord Peter watches Harriet in the dock, he begins to doubt her guilt—and to fall in love. As Harriet awaits the hangman, Lord Peter races to prove her innocence, hoping that for the first time in his life, love will triumph over death. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dorothy L. Sayers including rare images from the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College."
  • "In this story Lord Peter joins forces for the first time with the one true love of his life, Harriet Vane, who is on trial for poisoning her fiancé when Wimsey meets her. Not only does Wimsey believe in her innocence, he falls in love with her at first sight."
  • "A Lord Peter Wimsey novel."
  • "When her fiancé dies exactly as described in one of her novels, mystery writer Harriet Vane becomes the prime suspect. Can Lord Peter Wimsey find the real poisoner in time to save her from the gallows? Impossible, it seems. The Crown's case is watertight. The police are adamant. The judge's summing-up is clear: Harriet Vane is guilty. But Lord Peter is determined to find her innocent - as determined as he is to make her his wife."
