About this listen

Embark on a thrilling journey with Whose Body?, the first novel in Dorothy Sayers’s renowned Lord Peter Wimsey series. Meet Lord Peter, his insightful manservant and fellow-sleuth, Mervyn Bunter, and the astute Inspector Charles Parker from Scotland Yard. The story unfolds as a timid architect from Battersea stumbles upon a naked corpse in his bath, its only accessory a gold pince nez. Simultaneously, the narrative reveals the strange disappearance of Sir Reuben Levy, a prominent financial tycoon. As Wimsey and Parker delve deeper into these two enigmas, they realize the two incidents are intertwined, forming a single, malevolent plot. Bunter’s unique insights and photographic evidence play a crucial role in deciphering the mystery. While Whose Body? may not be as polished as Sayers’s later works, it still stands as a captivating read with its elegant prose, witty humor, and an intriguing mystery that keeps readers guessing until the very end.
