Whose Body?: The First Lord Peter Wimsey Mystery - Softcover
Book 1 of 15: The Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries
Synopsis
Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers is the brilliant first mystery featuring Lord Peter Wimsey, one of the most beloved detectives of the Golden Age of crime fiction. Witty, elegant, and sharply observed, this classic novel introduces a sleuth whose aristocratic charm hides a keen mind, a restless conscience, and a remarkable gift for detection.
When a mysterious corpse is discovered in a London bathtub, wearing nothing but a pair of pince-nez, the case seems bizarre from the start. At the same time, a wealthy financier has vanished without explanation. Are the two events connected, or is the truth hidden behind a more elaborate deception? Lord Peter Wimsey follows the clues through drawing rooms, hospitals, offices, and the darker corners of respectable society, uncovering secrets that others would rather leave buried.
Fast-moving, clever, and full of Sayers's distinctive wit, Whose Body? helped establish one of detective fiction's great characters. More than a puzzle, it is a stylish portrait of postwar England, class, manners, trauma, and moral responsibility, all wrapped inside a gripping mystery of identity, murder, and motive.
This edition is prepared for clear, comfortable reading while preserving the intelligence, humor, and classic atmosphere of Sayers's original prose. For readers of Golden Age mysteries, classic detective fiction, British crime novels, and the legendary Lord Peter Wimsey series, Whose Body? is an essential beginning - a smart, stylish mystery that still delights and surprises.
