Whose Body? (Version 3 - dramatic reading)

A naked corpse appears in a Bermondsey bathtub, and no one can agree on whose body it is. Is it Sir Reuben Levy, the vanished Jewish businessman? Or someone else entirely? Lord Peter Wimsey, the aristocratic detective with a taste for rare books and perilous hobbies, stumbles into his first case quite by accident and finds himself unraveling a puzzle that involves a suspicious suicide, a Cambridge don with theatrical ambitions, and a family desperate to bury their secrets. Sayers deploys her trademark wit and erudition to skewer English class pretensions while serving up a detective story that plays fair with the reader. This is golden age detection at its finest: a puzzle-box of clues, red herrings, and the irrepressible pleasure of watching a clever man think.
