, First Edition
This Halcyon Classics ebook WHOSE BODY? is by 20th century British detective writer Dorothy L. Sayers. Sayers (1893-1957) is best known for her mysteries, a series of novels and short stories set between World War I and World War II that feature English aristocrat and amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey. She also composed poetry, essays, plays, and translated Dante's DIVINIA COMMEDIA (The Divine Comedy) into English.
In WHOSE BODY?, Sayers introduces the character of Lord Peter Wimsey. Lord Peter is intrigued by the sudden appearance of a naked body in the bath of an architect, and investigates. A noted financier has also gone missing under strange circumstances, and as the case progresses it becomes clear that the two events are linked in some way.The book establishes many of Wimsey's character traits - for example, his interest in rare books, the nervous problems associated with his wartime shell-shock, and his ambiguous feelings about catching criminals for a hobby - and also introduces many characters who recur in later novels, such as Parker, Bunter, Sugg, and the Dowager Duchess.
