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.

Read by a great actor too who does a range of accents. Made me laugh out loud at times due to the quirky characters.

Albeit a little dated this old style whodunnit is greatly enhanced by Bathurst’s narration…he brings the style of the piece to life. More please!
