2023 book 98

 Dorothy Sayers' Whose Body

I read this article recently, which made me want to revisit the Peter Wimsey books! Unfortunately I didn’t remember the plot of this one—where Lord Peter is assisting on two cases, a missing wealthy Jewish businessman, and an unknown body discovered in an acquaintance’s bathtub—and that allllll the characters are cheerfully and casually antisemitic (as wealthy British people WERE, at that time). So, that’s not fun. It’s still an interesting mystery, though, even remembering most of how it played out. And I do like Peter as a character.
