Lord Peter Death Bredon Wimsey is a fictional character in a series of detective novels and short stories by Dorothy L. Sayers (and their continuation by Jill Paton Walsh) in which he solves mysteries—usually murders. A dilettante who solves mysteries for his own amusement, Wimsey is an archetype for the British gentleman detective. Lord Peter is often assisted by his valet and former army colleague Mervyn Bunter, his good friend and later brother-in-law Inspector/Chief Inspector Charles "Parker Bird" Parker, and later by his future wife Harriet Vane. |
