Publisher's Summary

Mr. Thipps wakes up to the worst day ever. A dead body in his bathtub wearing nothing but a pair of pince-nez. So many questions.

Luckily, Lord Peter Wimsey catches wind of this – for he has a keen mind for solving crimes, although he is the pampered aristocratic amateur. With the connections that privilege offers, he has returned somewhat battered from the war with a penchant for crime solving. This case of near-sighted nudity, taking place during the plague of 1918, takes on twists and turns both unforeseen and unwelcome.

Dorothy Sayers was a scholar, crime writer, and poet. She is best known for her Lord Peter Wimsey novels set between World Wars I and II. Whose Body is the first of these riveting listens.

Fabulous mystery, clever storytelling

This classic detective mystery has a cast of fascinating characters that become more complex as you get to know them. The writing style has a refreshingly literary bent for this genre, while still being easy to read and enjoy. I really enjoyed the narration; it featured distinct characters that were pleasant to listen to. My one criticism is that the accent of the main character seemed a little off, but it didn't bother me once I had gotten used to it.

A delight

Enjoy a detective mystery propelled not by a dedicated law enforcer but rather an eccentric Lord looking for entertainment. Narrator does a wonderful job
