Whose Body? with eBook

Roe Kendall’s narration is the real star here—her delivery of Lord Peter Wimsey’s posh, pseudo-daffy persona never feels like caricature, even when the character’s flamboyance borders on parody. The dry humor in Sayers’ writing lands perfectly through Kendall’s measured, aristocratic cadence, especially in scenes where Wimsey patronizingly schools lesser minds. That said, the production occasionally leans too hard into the era’s stuffy upper-class affectations, which might grate on listeners allergic to phrases like 'extraordinary old bean.' The plot itself is cleverly constructed, with red herrings that *almost* feel fair-play by modern standards, though Wimsey’s habit of stumbling into solutions via sheer luck stretches credibility thin. The bathtub reveal is handled with just the right amount of grisly detail—enough to unsettle without veering into shock value. Production quality is solid, with clean audio and no distracting background noise, though the lack of chapter markers is a baffling omission. If you’re here for a cozy mystery with brains and bite, this holds up surprisingly well; just don’t expect the emotional depth of later Wimsey novels.
