Whose Body? a Lord Peter Wimsey Novel
When the naked body of an unknown man turns up in a suburban bathtub, wearing nothing but a pince-nez, the aristocratic amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey takes up the puzzle with wit and relish. Aided by his unflappable valet Bunter and a Scotland Yard friend, he unravels a crime of cold ingenuity. Sayers’s debut novel introduces one of detective fiction’s most charming heroes and helped define the Golden Age of the genre. Elegant, funny, and cleverly constructed, it launched a beloved series and remains a delight for lovers of classic English mystery.
