About this book
A stray corpse turns up in a suburban bathtub, wearing only a pair of pince-nez, and Lord Peter Wimsey cannot resist the puzzle. Dorothy L. Sayers introduced her monocled aristocrat-detective in this 1923 debut, pairing sharp wit with a genuine murder mystery as Wimsey and his unflappable valet Bunter untangle the case alongside a nervous police inspector. Beneath the banter, Sayers gives Wimsey a shell-shocked past that lends the comedy an unexpected weight, hinting at the depth she would bring to the series. It launched one of the most beloved sleuths of detective fiction's golden age.
