A naked body is found in a bath in Battersea — wearing only a gold pince-nez. At the same time, a prominent financier has vanished without trace. The connection between the two mysteries draws the aristocratic amateur detective Lord Peter Wimsey into one of his most puzzling early cases. Whose Body? (1923) is Sayers’s first novel and one of the great debuts of the Golden Age.
Sayers created in Wimsey a detective of genuine depth — brilliant, scarred by the war, and leavened with self-deprecating humour. Download the free EPUB and meet one of detective fiction’s most beloved characters from the very beginning.
