Interpretation Concering Books Whose Body? (Lord Peter Wimsey #1)

The stark naked body was lying in the tub. Not unusual for a proper bath, but highly irregular for murder -- especially with a pair of gold pince-nez deliberately perched before the sightless eyes. What's more, the face appeared to have been shaved after death. The police assumed that the victim was a prominent financier, but Lord Peter Wimsey, who dabbled in mystery detection as a hobby, knew better. In this, his first murder case, Lord Peter untangles the ghastly mystery of the corpse in the bath.

Comment On Containing Books Whose Body? (Lord Peter Wimsey #1)

3 starsWhose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers is the first book in the Lord Peter Wimsey series.There are two mysteries in this book. One is of a corpse found naked in the bathtub of a fussy architects house. The other involves a financier disappearing from his bedroom one night, never to be seen again.Both were decent mysteries and I enjoyed how it was all solved at the end. I didnt feel like this book was ground breaking though, and there was no tension.It felt like a dulled down Agatha Christie



Read as part of the Book Pals thread at A Good Thriller group.I've read this before, but I'm more than happy to "rediscover" Lord Peter again. I've always loved him ever since I first watched the Lord Peter Mysteries on Masterpiece Theater starring Ian Carmichael.In many ways, the Lord Peter Wimsey character is much better than his contemporaries Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Lord Peter is a well-structured character with a history and a family. He also is a veteran of the Great War and

Ok, Whose Body just wasn't my cup of tea. Initially I tried it in audiobook format, but couldn't get through it because I thought I didn't care for the narrator. So, I tried it in print. My apologies to Nadia May (the narrator of the audiobook). It wasn't her, it was Whose Body.This is a fine mystery, certainly nothing wrong with it, and I'm sure it appeals to a lot of people. The dialogue was witty and sharp. But there was just so much dialogue. The story moved via the conversations of the

The very first Lord Peter Wimsey novel, and thus the genesis of one of the most engaging characters I've ever encountered, literary or otherwise. Actually, make that at least two (since Bunter is equally astounding), and maybe three (because the Dowager's quite engaging, too). In rereading this, I found myself surprised at how solid the characters are at the very beginning of the series; they are essentially the same fully-realized people they are ten books later, though we only see certain

There are many book series that over the years I have said "I'd love to read those books!'' and then never did. Lord Peter Wimsey is one of those great characters that I vowed to visit, and promptly forgot my promise. In an attempt to turn over a new leaf reading-wise, I am changing this habit. When I find a book that really appeals to me, I make the time and read the book! This does mean that I reshuffle my TBR pile more, but that's ok. I have already read several delightful books that I

At last, I pick up Dorothy Sayers' first mystery novel and finally learn the Origins of Lord Peter!...except, this isn't an origin story like I was expecting. We don't get to see Lord Peter as Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins, deciding to become a defender of justice while pretending to be a empty-headed rich playboy (oh man, did anyone else start thinking of Peter Wimsey/Batman slashfic? Maybe Batman builds a time machine and goes back to the 1930's and he and Peter fight crime together while
