Whose Body? (1923) by Dorothy L. Sayers is the first mystery novel featuring amateur detective Lord Peter Wimsey. The story begins when the naked body of an unknown man, wearing only a pince-nez, is discovered in a London bathtub. At the same time, a wealthy financier, Sir Reuben Levy, mysteriously disappears.
Lord Peter, with the help of Inspector Parker and his valet Bunter, investigates whether the two cases are connected. His sharp intellect and eye for detail uncover a sinister plot involving identity theft, deception, and murder.
The novel introduces Wimsey's wit, charm, and methodical sleuthing, laying the foundation for Sayers' celebrated detective series.
