Biography
Lord Peter Wimsey is the brilliant, aristocratic, and fiercely intelligent amateur sleuth who defines the heights of Golden Age detective fiction. The second son of the Duke of Denver, Wimsey hides a massive intellect, immense linguistic mastery, and deep psychological trauma (shell shock from WWI) behind a facade of foolish, monocle-wearing aristocratic babble. Aided by his unmatched deductive skills and his capable valet, Bunter, Wimsey elevated the amateur detective from a mere puzzle-solver to a fully realized, deeply emotional literary character.
