Lord Peter Book

One of the founding mothers of mystery, Dorothy Sayers first introduced the popular character Lord Peter Wimsey in 1923 with the publication of Whose Body? Over the next twenty years, more novels and short stories about the aristocratic amateur sleuth appeared, each one as cunningly written as the next. Now in single volume, here are all the Lord Peter Wimsey stories, a treasure for any mystery lover. From “The Fantastic Horror of the Cat in the Bag” to “The Image in the Mirror” and “Talboys”, this collection is Lord Peter at his best—and a true testament to the art of detective fiction.
