Whose Body?: Lord Peter Wimsey Mystery Book 1 Paperback - 2016
by Dorothy L. Sayers
About this book
From the rear cover
It was the body of a tall stout man. On his dead face, a handsome pair of gold pince-nez mocked death with grotesque elegance. The body wore nothing else. Lord Peter Wimsey knew immediately what the corpse was supposed to be. His problem was to find out whose body had found its way into Mr Alfred Thipps' Battersea bathroom. 'She brought to the detective novel originality, intelligence, energy and wit.'
P. D. James
Dorothy L. Sayers is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of the Golden Age of British crime fiction. She wrote eleven novels in the classic series featuring amateur detective Lord Peter Wimsey, and several short story collections, all of which are available from Hodder.
