The "unpleasantness" is that a 90-year-old member of this men's club in London, General Fentiman, has died in one of its armchairs, and no one noticed for hours that he was dead. During those hours his wealthy sister also died, and now there is a legal battle between their heirs over which of them died first.

Similar plot elements appeared in other Lord Peter novels, such as Unnatural Death and Strong Poison, where the legal technicalities governing wills and inheritance were more fully explored.
