Book Reviews of Strong Poison
Book Review: The beginings of a beautiful partnership
Summary: 4 Stars
Imagine the scenario: you abstractedly attend a notorious court case. The accused, if convicted will be hanged; and in one dazzling moment you realise that the accused is the absolutely one and only person you want to meet, charm and spend the rest of your life with. Strong Poison opens on such a heady premise, but to describe this novel purely in terms of its romantic content; is to deny the masterfully elegent nature of the murder at its centre. The book also stands well as a period piece, with some interesting insights into London in the Inter-war period. It is thought (by Sayers' biographers) that Strong Poison was to have been the last Wimsey novel; mindful of Conan-Doyle's dificulties in ressurecting Holmes after the incident at the Reichenbach Falls... the ending of Strong Poison is equivocal. It may be interpreted as the end of an era or the begining of a new chapter in the career of Lord Peter Wimsey.
