Dorothy L. Sayers’ 1923 debut mystery novel “Whose Body?” is a classic cozy mystery featuring the debonair aristocrat-sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey. After a corpse wearing pince-nez glasses is found in a bathtub, Lord Peter undertakes to investigate the deed privately. But determining whether the corpse belongs to a well-known banker or a group of mischief-making medical students is just the beginning of this tangled mystery plot. This atmospheric novel put Dorothy L. Sayers in the ranks with Agatha Christie as a mystery writer nonpareil.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars -
This was my first Dorothy Sayers book. I enjoyed meeting Lord Peter Wimsey and his friend/partner Mr. Parker. It was interesting in the play between the two because of their difference in standing. I had an inkling as to the culprit, but there were so many clues, I became uncertain. The dialogue sometimes had me confused with the use of some terms, whether archaic or slang. I loved how everything was explained in the end.
This is my unsolicited review.
