A Presumption of Death was entertaining and read more like WWII historical fiction than mystery. I enjoyed it, though I thought the mystery should have been more center stage. Lord Peter Wimsey didn't even make his appearance for the first 200 pages, which made it drag up until then. But the second 200 pages were more satisfying. I wish it had been more gripping, with a cleverer solution to the mystery. However, I don't regret reading it.
