Whose Body? Again....

 Whose Body? (1923) by Dorothy L. Sayers (read by Ian Carmichael)

Yes...I've read and listened to Whose Body? many times before. I've reviewed it in depth (HERE) and I've reviewed audio versions by both David Case  and Nano Nagle. And all I've got to say about those is: Thank goodness for Ian Carmichael. There is nothing like listening to him read the LPW stories and I'm glad that I've been able to get hold of most of the audio versions he did (I'm still missing a few and hope to complete the set without investing too much money. But Carmichael seems to be a hot commodity on eBay at the moment). 

This particular outing with Carmichael as Lord Peter was a comfort read, plain and simple. It's been a rough couple of years at the Hankins homestead and I've had a bit of trouble lately settling down with new books. The concentration just isn't there what with husband's medical issues and the life in general here in the good ol' U S of A. I decided that I just needed to sit and let Carmichael say "pretty things" to me. [That's a paraphrase of a moment late in the book, by the way....] And I enjoyed it thoroughly. So...I'm afraid that I have no deep textual analysis or real review of any sort. But I did have a good time visiting with LPW, Bunter, Parker, and the Dowager Duchess. 

First lines: "Oh, damn!" said Lord Peter Wimsey at Piccadilly Circus. "Hi, driver!" 

Last line: "The Napoleon brandy."
