Whose Body? A Lord Peter Wimsey Novel

By Dorothy L Sayers

The stark naked body was lying in the tub. Not unusual for a proper bath, but highly irregular for murder -- especially with a pair of gold pince-nez deliberately perched before the sightless eyes. What's more, The face appeared to have been shaved after death. The police assumed that the victim was a prominent financier, but Lord Peter wimsey, who dabbled in mystery detection as a hobby, knew better. In this, his first murder case, Lord Peter untangles the ghastly mystery of the corpse in the bath.

Customer Reviews

Dorothy L. Sayers mystifies us from the beginning.

From the very beginning of this story, we are captured by Sayers' writing style and character sketches. She only gets better from here. It is the interaction and relationship of her characters that make the story come alive. This is Dorothy Sayers' first novel in the Lord Peter Wimsey series. Main character: Lord Peter Death Bredon Wimsey. We start with two mysteries at once. A naked man, wearing a gold pince-nez, is found in someone else's bathtub. Across town, an important person goes missing. The local police officer had figured out the relationship already (or has he?). He has even nabbed the suspects. Lord Peter (amateur sleuth) and friend of Inspector Parker must figure out if one plus one is one or two. Whose body?
