Whose Body?: A Lord Peter Wimsey Mystery

When a dead body, carefully arranged and naked except for a pince-nez, is discovered in a bathtub, amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey, deducing the man is not who he appears to be, takes it upon himself to solve the mystery, leading to an array of twists and turns that make Whose Body a masterful, intricate, immersive, and supremely intelligent whodunit-the novel that established Dorothy L. Sayers as a master of the mystery novel, while introducing the inimitable, brilliant, aristocrat Wimsey, one of the most unforgettable and popular heroes of the genre. This unique edition contains the full text of Whose Body?, handsomely designed, plus an essay by Chris Willis that first appeared in The Strand Magazine about the character of Lord Peter Wimsey.

A little long on the tooth, enjoyed discussing the background of the different characters, a bit brutal story line for an early first novel, would continue to read the series.

Dorothy Sayers begins her charming detective series with a twisted mystery, a charming aristocrat, and a psycho killer. No wonder it was a hit.
