About the book

The first book in Dorothy L Sayers' classic Lord Peter Wimsey series introduced by crime writer Laura Wilson - a must-read for fans of Agatha Christie's Poirot and Margery Allingham's Campion Mysteries.

'D. L. Sayers is one of the best detective story writers' Daily Telegraph

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.

'She brought to the detective novel originality, intelligence, energy and wit.' P. D. James

    Ja ja ja, die bösen, unansehnlichen Juden. Und dann das Geschwätz von Peter Wimsey und seiner Mutter. Meine Konzentration wurde arg in Mitleidenschaft gezogen. Leider ist diese Art Kriminalroman nichts für mich.

    Die Bücher um Lord Peter Wimsey habe ich vor vielen Jahren schon einmal gelesen, und mir war jetzt wieder danach. Ich mag diese Krimis wirklich, das ist ermitteln vor 100 Jahren, aber mit Köpfchen, durch einen herrlich verschrobenen englischen Adelsspross. Es war eine interessante Handlung, die man aber aus der damaligen Zeit heraus verstehen muss.

    Es war einbisschen ei holpriger Start für mich. Es war der erste Band. Ich denke je besser man die Charaktere kennenlernt desto besser werden die Bücher. Der Schluss fand ich besser. Ich hätte mir jedoch noch mehr Hintergedanken vom Hauptcharakter gewünscht welche auch der Leser mitbekommt. Bin gespannt auf die anderen Teile.
