Description

Sayers' most renowned amateur detective, the engaging and amusing Lord Peter Wimsey, sets out to unravel a puzzling case involving the disappearance of a wealthy financier and the discovery of a nude corpse, wearing gold pince-nez, in a bathtub. He does succeed in solving things to everyone's ultimate satisfaction, but only after a series of bloodcurdling and hair-raising episodes that will hold the listener spellbound with anticipation.

Long considered one of the top mystery authors, Dorothy L. Sayers has excelled herself in this delightfully macabre tale, a truly rare find for anyone interested in top-flight crime fiction.

reviews
      • premium: False
      • source: New York Times
      • content: "The tale is better written and has a good deal more characterization than one finds in the average detective story."
      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: The first of Sayers's Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries is a witty and accomplished page-turner of the gentleman detective school. David Case expertly voices the well-drawn dramatis personae, though he seems a bit out of step with the Bertie Woosterish style that Wimsey wears like a disguise. His rhythms are sometimes very odd. Nonetheless, he still manages to deliver an earful of delightful writing. Y.R. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
