Introducing Lord Peter Wimsey, one of the most intriguing, multifaceted detectives of the Golden Age

Sayers debuts Lord Peter Wimsey in Whose Body?, seemingly a typical example of foppish English nobility, but gradually revealed to be one of the more interesting and thoughtful characters in detective fiction.
Lord Peter, his man Bunter (always the picture of the ever faithful, incredibly capable, but unimpressed, English manservant), and Detective Inspector Charles Parker make up one of the more interesting crime solving teams in detective fiction, all having unexpected depths revealed by Sayers over the course of the novel. 
Sayers is also a relative rarity as a mystery writer of this era, where the journey is at least as good as the destination. If you are looking for a prime example of Golden Age detective fiction, look no further and enjoy the start of a new series that you'll want to complete
