Publisher Description

Sayers’ most renowned amateur detective, the engaging and amusing Lord Peter Wimsey, sets out to unravel a puzzling case involving the disappearance of a wealthy financier and the discovery of a nude corpse, wearing gold pince-nez, in a bathtub. He does succeed in solving things to everyone’s ultimate satisfaction, but only after a series of bloodcurdling and hair-raising episodes that will hold the listener spellbound with anticipation.

Long considered one of the top mystery authors, Dorothy L. Sayers has excelled herself in this delightfully macabre tale, a truly rare find for anyone interested in top-flight crime fiction.

"I've read the main Sayers "Wimsey-Vane" books before, but I'd never read Whose Body?. It is apparently the first Wimsey novel. I enjoyed it a great deal -- Sayers describes her main character as a cross between Fred Astaire and Bertie Wooster, which is pretty much perfect. I think I originally read these when I was younger and did not get all of the airy persiflage, aka 'piffle' that Peter Wimsey talks. Much is made of the antisemitism in this book, though Sayers defended herself saying she felt that the Jewish characters came off the best of anyone. Perhaps. It is definitely a document of its upper class British times. But the mystery is good, though I'd figured it out fairly early on. An enjoyable introduction to Wimsey, let's say."

Quotes

  • “The Wimsey books are literate and delightful mysteries.”

    " I really enjoyed her writing style, and I'm looking forward to reading more of these. At first Lord Peter seemed like a crime-solving Bertie Wooster, but he turned out to be a very intelligent and complex character. The mystery was pretty good, although the confession at the end was a little tedious. This book did make me finally look up how to pronounce "pince-nez". "

    " This is my first go at Dorothy Sayers, outside of some of her scholarly work. I like Lord Peter Wimsey very much, but to be honest, I liked his man Bunter even better. I'm looking forward to seeing these characters develop as I read more of her mysteries. I've also been reading many of Agatha Christie's novels, some for the first time, and Wimsey appeals to me much more than Poirot and his egotism. Must find out what the next title is and get my hands on it. "
