The Fantastic Horror of the Cat in the Bag - Lord Peter's Highway Puzzle

The short story “The Fantastic Horror of the Cat in the Bag” by Dorothy L. Sayers is part of the collection “Lord Peter Views the Body,” which features the brilliant amateur detective Lord Peter Wimsey. Published in 1928, the story showcases Lord Peter's keen intellect and wit, as well as his knack for being in the right place at the right time.

At the outset of this recording, we encounter two motorcyclists hurtling down the Great North Road in a frenzied chase. The reason for the pursuit, we learn, is a mysterious bag lost by one rider and recovered by the other. The contents are a shock to all and the key to a startling crime.

Listen and prepare to be delighted by Sayers’ masterful storytelling as we embark on this adventure!
