Whose body sayers

Although the body in the bath superficially resembles that of Sir Reuben, it quickly becomes clear that it is not him, and it appears that the cases may be unconnected. Sir Reuben's disappearance is in the hands of Inspector Charles Parker, a friend of Wimsey's. Leading the official investigation is Inspector Sugg, who suggests that the body may be that of the famous financier Sir Reuben Levy, who disappeared from his bedroom in mysterious circumstances the night before. Lord Peter Wimsey-a nobleman who has recently developed an interest in criminal investigation as a hobby-resolves to investigate the matter privately. Thipps, an architect, finds a dead body wearing nothing but a pair of pince-nez in the bath of his London flat. It was her debut novel, and the book in which she introduced the character of Lord Peter Wimsey. Whose Body? is a 1923 mystery novel by Dorothy L.
