Strong Poison by Dorothy L. Sayers

[meganbmoore]

Having watched the trial of Harriet Vane, an authoress accused of murdering her former lover, Wimsey has become convinced that the woman is innocent, and is thrilled when the murder trial results in a hung jury, requiring another trial a month later. Wimsey decides to prove Harriet’s innocence and interviews her, proposing marriage as he does so.

It's been so many years since I read - and loved - these books that the subtle details escape me now. Apparently I must reread soon. However, as others have already said, you do see a lot of Peter's issues in Busman's Honeymoon, though it always seemed clear to me that he had PTSD and could only get so far past it.

Yeah, the PTSD is made pretty clear from the first book.
