"Whose Body?" is a 1923 mystery novel by Dorothy L. Sayers, marking her debut
and introducing the character of Lord Peter Wimsey. The story revolves around
the discovery of a dead body in an architect's London flat, wearing only a
pair of pince-nez. Lord Peter Wimsey, who has taken an interest in criminal
investigation, decides to privately investigate the case alongside Inspector
Charles Parker. The body is initially believed to be that of a famous
financier, Sir Reuben Levy, who had recently disappeared. However, it is soon
revealed that the cases may be unrelated. Wimsey connects the two cases
through a chance encounter between a prostitute and Levy on the night of his
disappearance. Eventually, Wimsey uncovers that a respected surgeon, Sir
Julian Freke, lured Levy to his house and murdered him. Freke attempts to kill
both Parker and Wimsey but is arrested before he can carry out his plan. The
novel received praise for its clever plot and the introduction of the
charismatic Lord Peter Wimsey.
