There are few detectives more notable than Lord Peter Wimsey, the debonair and charming socialite whose witty chat and perfect manners can distract from the acute brain and astute student of humanity that lead him to resolve the most complex of cases.
Whose Body? was Lord Peter's first appearance in print. When the body of an unknown man is found in an architect's flat and a famous financier disappears, early signs point to the possibility that these two cases are linked, but when that is thrown into doubt, Wimsey decides to tackle the cases himself and discovers an intricate web of revenge and deception.
Evoking the London of the 1920s and populating her story with memorable characters, Dorothy L. Sayers created one of the greatest sleuths in crime fiction.
