Whose Body?

The incomparable Lord Peter Wimsey is introduced to the realm of crime in Whose Body?, originally published in 1923. When a body in a bathtub in Battersea is found, Lord Peter must identify the identities of both the offender and the victim. Lord Peter understands, with the help of Scotland Yard's Charles Parker and his incomparable servant Bunter, that the unexpected and inexplicable disappearance of Sir Reuben Levy, a renowned London banker, is somehow connected to the corpse in the bath. The inquiry into the murder and the disappearance of the banker takes Wimsey all across England, finally putting him face to face with the culprit.

Sayers, a pioneering novelist of the mystery genre, delivers a deliciously thrilling debut filled with humour and whimsy in Whose Body?
