TH - 358/1 | Whose Body? (Lord Peter Wimsey #1) by Dorothy L. Sayers

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.
