A stark naked body lies in the tub; not unusual for a proper bath, but highly irregular for a murder, especially with a pair of expensive gold Pince-Nez glasses deliberately perched before the sightless eyes.  What's more, the face appears to have been shaved after death.  The police assume that the victim was a prominent financier, but Lord Peter Wimsey, who dabbles in mystery detection as a hobby, knows better, and sets out to  untangle the ghastly mystery of the corpse in the bath. 

Evoking the London of the 1920s and populating her story with memorable characters, Dorothy L. Sayers created one of the greatest sleuths in crime fiction in Whose Body? the first Lord Peter Wimsey mystery.
