Book excerpt: The naked body was lying in the tub. Not unusual for a proper bath, but highly irregular for murder--especially with a pair of gold pince-nez deliberately perched before the sightless eyes. What's more, the face appeared to have been shaved after death. In this, his first murder case, Lord Peter untangles the mystery of the corpse in the bath.

Book excerpt: Lord Peter Wimsey is headed for a book auction when he learns from his mother that a corpse has been found in the bathtub of a local architect. Peter, an amateur sleuth, promptly makes arrangements to send his manservant, Bunter, to the auction in his stead and to go to the scene of the corpse. He arrives while the police are gone and the owner of the house, Mr. Thipps, grants Peter access to the bathroom. There he finds a nude man wearing nothing but a pair of expensive glasses, carefully arranged in the tub. The police soon come to the conclusion that Mr. Thipps, his servant named Gladys, her boyfriend William, or some combination of the three, are responsible for the man's death. Meanwhile, a man has been reported missing, Mr. Reuben Levy. He is a financier and left the house without any clothing. The man investigating that case happens to be a friend of Peter's, Inspector Parker. Parker notes that the initial supposition is that the man in the tub is Levy, but that is soon proved false. As Parker and Peter begin working on their cases, they initially believe them to be two separate cases but eventually find a connection in Sir Julian Freke, noted surgeon, author and specialist of nervous disorders. Parker eventually discovers that Levy had last been seen in the neighborhood of Freke's residence next to the hospital, and that Freke had once been romantically involved with Levy's wife but she had chosen Levy over Freke.

Book excerpt: When an architect discovers in his bath the dead body of a middle-aged stranger, wearing nothing but a pair of gold pince-nez, gentleman sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey is urged to investigate. Inspector Sugg is certain the corpse is that of the missing financier Sir Reuben Levy. Lord Peter is certain it is not. But there is undoubtedly a connection - for it seems someone wants them to THINK the dead man is Levy. Why would anyone construct such a grotesque tableau? Where is Levy now - alive or dead? And whose body WAS it in the bath?

Download or read book The Attenbury Emeralds written by Jill Paton Walsh and published by Minotaur Books. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1936, Dorothy L. Sayers abandoned the last Lord Peter Wimsey detective story. Sixty years later, a brown paper parcel containing a copy of the manuscript was discovered in her agent's safe in London, and award-winning novelist Jill Paton Walsh was commissioned to complete it. The result of the pairing of Dorothy L. Sayers with Walsh was the international bestseller Thrones, Dominations. Now, following A Presumption of Death, set during World War II, comes a new Sayers-inspired mystery featuring Lord Peter Wimsey, revisiting his very first case. . . . It was 1921 when Lord Peter Wimsey first encountered the Attenbury Emeralds. The recovery of the gems in Lord Attenbury's dazzling heirloom collection made headlines—and launched a shell-shocked young aristocrat on his career as a detective. Thirty years later, a happily married Lord Peter has just shared the secrets of that mystery with his wife, the detective novelist Harriet Vane. Suddenly, the new Lord Attenbury—grandson of Lord Peter's first client—seeks his help to prove who owns the emeralds. As Harriet and Peter contemplate the changes that the war has wrought on English society—and Peter, who always cherished the liberties of a younger son, faces the unwanted prospect of ending up the Duke of Denver after all—Jill Paton Walsh brings us a masterful new chapter in the annals of one of the greatest detectives of all time.

Download or read book The Cases of Blue Ploermell written by James Thurber and published by . This book was released on 2021-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1923, the young reporter James Thurber was given a half a page in the Sunday Evening Dispatch of Columbus, Ohio, every week to fill with anything he wanted. For most of that year, he turned out book reviews, humorous commentary, jokes, stories, and even literary criticism.He also wrote a series of 13 short Sherlockian parodies - 10,000 words in all - starring Blue Ploermell, a "psychosocial" detective with a fondness for animal crackers. Aided (and occasionally impeded) by his Chinese manservant, Gong Low, Ploermell investigates cases marked by his cock-eyed deductions, loopy logic, and knack for leaping to the wrong conclusion.These juvenilia represents Thurber's first attempts at learning the craft of humor writing. Looking back at this work years later, he even considered publishing the Ploermell stores. The Cases of Blue Ploermell, for the first time in a century, collects the 13 stories. Edited and annotated by Bill Peschel, they show Thurber trying his hand at characterization, story structure, ethnic humor, and serial writing in a style rarely seen at any newspaper. In addition to the annotations, Peschel wrote essays on Thurber's years in Columbus, Ohio; journalism in the 1920s; the state of Sherlockian parodies; and depictions of Chinese men and women in American popular culture. Note: The 13 stories are very short, and take up 40 pages of this 200-page book. The rest of the book consists of these essays: "Becoming James Thurber" (39 pages); "Journalism in Thurber's Time" (4 pages); "Sherlockian Parodies in the 1920s" (8 pages); "The Ancestors of Gong Low" (13 pages); "The Chinese in Popular Culture" (35 pages); movie reviews (19 pages); chronology (9 pages); lists (7 pages).
