Publisher Description
The stark naked body was lying in the tub. Not unusual for a proper bath, but highly irregular for murder -- especially with a 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.
Customer Reviews
Ingenious Murder
An ingenious plot involving two bodies for one murder. Certainly enough distractions to keep one guessing. But Wimsey isn’t particularly well drawn as a character, and some of his thoughts and actions seemed, upon reading, poorly motivated. Definitely worth reading though.
