Aurora says that in Gaudy Night a college student is killed. This is the only Peter Wimsey novel by Dorothy L. Sayers where nobody dies. The book is set at a woman's college at Oxford University. Several characters are attacked by a woman seeking revenge but she does not kill anyone. Her husband killed himself because a female college professor reported him for falsifying information in a work he was writing. The professor had joined the faculty at this college where the wife worked as a servant.
The actual murderer forces Aurora and Dina to get into the trunk of Aurora's late-model car. Federal law has required that all automobile trunks be equipped with glow-in-the-dark emergency trunk release handles inside the trunk. Aurora and Dina could have just let themselves out of the trunk.
Aurora receives a text from Valerie, but it later transpires the text was actually sent by the killer using the fingers of the unconscious Valerie to type the text - however when Aurora receives the text the killer is in hospital whilst Valerie is lying unconscious in her own home.
Before putting Aurora & Dina in the trunk of her car, Bree makes Dina drop Aurora's purse & phone, and her own phone on the driveway before driving them out to the farm. That means Aurora could not have activated the tracking app on her phone that led Nick & Phillip to the farm.
