“Whose Body?” by Dorothy L. Sayers (conclusion): Lord Peter Wimsey proves to be no Sherlock Holmes

At the beginning of the novel, the author thinks Wimsey has two selves, one of which is a deductive detective like Sherlock Holmes (1, p. 4).  But he proves to be more intuitive than deductive (1, p. 91).  For the details of the case, the author and the reader must rely on the confession by the murderer (1, pp. 129-140).
