About this listen

After a corpse wearing pince-nez glasses is found in a bathtub, Lord Peter Wimsey undertakes the case and investigates the deed privately. But determining whether the corpse belongs to a well-known banker or a group of mischief-making medical students is just the beginning of this tangled mystery plot.

This atmospheric novel put Dorothy L. Sayers in the ranks with Agatha Christie as a mystery writer nonpareil.

I found the pleasure in Sayer’s story to be the wry, detailed view she provides of Britain’s disappearing class system in post-WW I England. And, altho Sayers pokes a little fun at Conan Doyle’s style, her own story here commits the error of Full-on Giant Confession at the end. But, never mind, a fun listen by a talented writer.

It’s the Britishness of it all

I’ve read all of Dorothy L. Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey books and listened to a few. This new version by Mark Meadows is first rate. I really hope he does more of the Wimsey books.

Mark Meadows shines as Lord Peter

This mystery was so complex and at times both boring and difficult to follow. It does have a surprise ending if you can hang in there with it.

FINALLY, audible give us a new version of Lord Peter Wimsey with a MALE narrator. Mark Meadows did an excellent job. It's Dorothy L Sayers, what's not to like. Looking forward to collect the rest of the titles in this series.

Funny, clever and well-read. I sampled the other versions in Audible and preferred this reader.

So fun!

I love the Lord Peter Whimsy books narrated by Ian Carmichael, so much so that I didn’t think anyone else would do the books justice. However, Mark Meadow’s narration is beyond excellent and makes the book a very entertaining listen!

Superb Narration!!

Just the second Dorothy Sayers book I have listened to. Very entertaining and falling in love with Lord Peter Wimsey as well as the narrator's wonderful voice.

A great murder mystery.

Over-the-top, exaggerated, silly reading. Accents so strong it’s often hard to understand, even though I lived in England for two years.

Irritating Performance

I grew up watching and reading the Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries. Mark Meadows is an excellent narrator - he picks up on the little twists of wit in the text, he does lots of good, distinct voices, and most of all, he nails Lord Peter's voice perfectly. I need more - I don't think I could listen to another person read the Wimsey stories after this!

Absolutely fantastic!

Dorothy Sayers is the best of all mystery writers. Mark Meadows brilliantly portrays each character.

Thrilling mystery of a psychopath
