DOROTHY SAYERS –The Silent Priest of New Year’s Morning | Detective Tales

A freezing New Year's morning begins with silence inside an ancient English church—but before the day is over, that silence will hide a deadly secret. When a beloved village priest suddenly loses his voice moments before delivering the first sermon of the New Year, the congregation believes it to be nothing more than illness. Yet Lord Peter Wimsey quickly realizes that the priest's silence is no accident. Hidden beneath old church traditions, forgotten confessions, and carefully buried family secrets lies a mystery someone is willing to kill to protect. Joined by his loyal valet, Bunter, and challenged by Inspector Sugg's straightforward conclusions, Lord Peter follows a trail of subtle clues through icy churchyards, dusty vestries, and centuries-old parish records. Who silenced the priest? What secret was he about to reveal? And why did the truth wait until New Year's morning? Inspired by the timeless style of Dorothy L. Sayers, this is an original Golden Age detective mystery filled with clever deductions, unforgettable characters, atmospheric British settings, and classic whodunit storytelling.
