by Dorothy L. Sayers (Author)
First published in 1923, Whose Body? introduces Lord Peter Wimsey in the first of Dorothy L. Sayers' classic Golden Age detective novels.
When the naked body of an unidentified man is discovered in a bathtub in a London architect's flat-while a missing financier vanishes under suspicious circumstances-Lord Peter Wimsey is drawn into a baffling mystery of identity, deception, and motive. Assisted by his capable valet Bunter and the seasoned Inspector Parker, Wimsey navigates society drawing rooms and forensic clues alike, combining aristocratic wit with sharp deductive reasoning.
Blending intellectual puzzle with dry humor and keen observation, Sayers helped define the British Golden Age of detective fiction. Whose Body? establishes the distinctive personality of Lord Peter-cultured, ironic, and unexpectedly compassionate-while delivering a tightly constructed mystery that rewards careful reading.
A foundational entry in classic British crime fiction, this edition restores the complete 1923 text for modern readers of traditional detective novels and vintage mystery.
