One morning in London, a modest architect finds in his bath the body of a stranger, wearing nothing but a gold pince-nez. On the same day, a rich financier vanishes without a trace. Lord Peter Wimsey, an elegant aristocrat and amateur detective, takes up the case with the help of Bunter, his faithful manservant.
It is the first case for Lord Peter, a hero as funny as he is brilliant, whose light-hearted manner hides a formidable nose for the truth.
With its humorous dialogue, this novel is easy to read in the language you are learning.
