About this listen

The first book in Dorothy L Sayers' classic Lord Peter Wimsey series - a must-listen for fans of Agatha Christie's Poirot and Margery Allingham's Campion Mysteries.

It was the body of a tall stout man. On his dead face, a handsome pair of gold pince-nez mocked death with grotesque elegance.

The body wore nothing else.

Lord Peter Wimsey knew immediately what the corpse was supposed to be. His problem was to find out whose body had found its way into Mr Alfred Thipps' Battersea bathroom.

Excellent book, very well narrated. It is such a relief to have Ms Sayer's finest works read by a decent reader, the previous reader (Jane McDowell) was absolutely dreadful, she read these books like they were P G Wodehouse, not some rather dark, socially aware tales of murder and deceit. I do love Wodehouse but Peter Wimsey is a million miles from Bertie Wooster, he's a damaged veteran of WW1, suffers from PTSD, and is not a social gad-fly in any way.

Hope you do the rest of the novels with the same narrator, Mr Bathurst is excellent.
