There is no Frigate like a Book To take us Lands away, Nor any Coursers like a Page Of prancing Poetry – This Traverse may the poorest take Without oppress of Toll – How frugal is the Chariot That bears a Human soul.

64. Whose Body
By: Dorothy L. Sayers
Rated: 5 Stars
Audio Book
From: Download from Libravox
This is the only Dorothy Sayers book available at Libravox.org. It's Sayers introduction to Lord Peter Wimsey. It was a fun read/listen. I love Lord Peter.
The stark naked body was lying in the tub.Not unusual for a proper bath, but highly irregular for murder -- especially witha pair of gold pince-nez deliberately perched before the sightless eyes. What's more, the face appeared to have been shaved after death. The police assumed that the victim was a prominent financier, but Lord Peter Wimsey, who dabbled in mystery detection as a hobby, knew better. In this, his first murder case, Lord Peter untangles the ghastly mystery of the corpse in the bath.
