The English scholar and novelist Dorothy L. Sayers penned numerous mystery stories, featuring the debonair Lord Peter Wimsey. An archetype for the British gentleman detective, this unique literary detective is a dilettante that solves mysteries for his own amusement, often assisted by his valet Bunter. The first novel in the series, ‘Whose Body?’ (1923), was followed by a string of bestselling mysteries that are the epitome of the Golden Age of Detective fiction. In later years, Sayers turned to writing scholarly translations, theological plays and non-fiction works, seeking to explain the central doctrines of Christianity clearly and concisely. This comprehensive eBook presents Sayers’ complete fictional works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and bonus material. (Version 1)
