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?
