Presented here is a four-book collection of the early Lord Peter Wimsey novels by Dorothy L. Sayers: Whose Body?, Clouds of Witness, Unnatural Death and the short story collection Lord Peter Views the Body.
Created by Sayers in 1923, the adventures of Lord Peter Wimsey - aristocrat, amateur sleuth and renowned dilettante - would eventually expand to fifteen novels and the character of Lord Peter would become one of the most beloved and revered figures in 20th century mystery fiction.
Collected here are the first four books of the Lord Peter Wimsey series. First, the debut novel "Whose Body?", which finds Lord Peter helping his friend the Scotland Yard detective Inspector Parker investigate the murder of a man found naked - save for his spectacles - in a bathtub.
Next up, "Clouds of Witness," in which Lord Peter must defend his own brother, who is not only accused of murder, but refuses to provide an alibi.
Then Lord Peter must discover an actual serial killer, who is poisoning their way to riches in "Unnatural Death."
Finally, Sayers' collection of short stories involving over a dozen cases, ranging from locked-room mysteries to cases of theft, murder, and deception, each demonstrating Lord Peter's keen intellect, classical education, and gentlemanly charm.
All four of these delightful and thrilling books are gathered together in one volume, each in their original and unabridged formats.
