Publisher's Summary
In A Presumption of Death, Jill Paton Walsh tells how World War II changed the lives of Peter, Harriet and their growing family.
The story opens in 1940. Harriet Vane - now Lady Peter Wimsey - has taken her children to safety in the country. But the war has followed them: glamorous RAF pilots and even more glamorous land-girls scandalise the villagers; the blackout makes the nighttime lanes as sinister as the back alleys of London. Then the village's first air raid practise ends with a very real body on the ground - not a war casualty but a case of plain, old-fashioned murder. And even before the second body is found, Lord Peter Wimsey and his brilliant wife are on their way to finding the killer.

Harriet and Peter WW2 - A Presumption of Dearh
I really enjoyed this book. The story layout is much like Busman's Honeymoon with the letters telling some of the story. Harriet is very true to form and Peter is good, but perhaps more sombre than we are used to. Bunter's life is developed, and the dowager duchess is lovely. Old favourites like Miss Twitterton, Mr. Puffett, plus the children add to the story. The tale bogs down a bit with the conversations between Helen and Harriet, but otherwise I felt it was quite faithful to the Sayers characters and Wimsey series. And Edward Petherbridge's narration is very easy to listen to.
