(5 reviews)

Sayers' most renowned amateur detective, the engaging and amusing Lord Peter Wimsey, sets out to unravel a puzzling case involving the disappearance of a wealthy financier and the discovery of a nude corpse, wearing a golden pince-nez, in a bathtub. He does succeed in solving things to everyone's ultimate satisfaction, but only after a series of bloodcurdling and hair-raising episodes that will hold the listener spellbound with anticipation. Dorothy L. Sayers, long considered one of the top mystery authors of our day, has excelled herself in this delightfully macabre tale, a truly rare find for anyone interested in top-flight crime fiction.

Review of 'Whose body?' on 'Goodreads'

This was originally on my TBR so I could participate in a virtual book discussion via my library. I cancelled my spot because I needed the time to read the new behemoth Jimmy Carter bio (which I didn't enjoy). I'm really kicking myself now, because it would have been cool to get others' take on this very dated (but apparently still-loved) mystery. I found it hard to enjoy, in no small part because of its anti-Semitism, among other irritants.
