Lord Peter views the body by Dorothy L. Sayers
"Lord Peter Views the Body" by Dorothy L. Sayers is a short story collection published in 1928. This first collection features twelve tales of Lord Peter Wimsey solving bizarre mysteries, from a sculptor who electroplates his victims to a master thief disguised as a lady's maid. Each story presents Wimsey with unusual crimes involving hidden wills, dismembered corpses, and stolen jewels. Through clever deduction and attention to detail, the aristocratic detective unravels
each puzzling case with his characteristic wit and ingenuity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
