Whose Body?: The First Lord Peter Wimsey Mystery by Dorothy L. Sayers
4.0
The first Lord Peter Wimsey
There were a few too many words here for me, more dialogue than action, and I had a hard time with Lord Peter's public school accent, "What ho, old chap, what?" Especially when he was talking to someone else who spoke the same way. But the mystery was good, and I figured it out right before they they told us. I loved the inclusion of Lord Peter's wartime experiences and his shellshock, as it made him a much more complete and sympathetic character.
