Publisher Description
Ian Carmichael stars as Lord Peter Wimsey in these classic BBC radio dramatisations of Dorothy L Sayers' Golden Age crime novels.
Gentleman detective Lord Peter Wimsey starred in a number of novels and short stories by Dorothy L Sayers. These full-cast adaptations – first broadcast on BBC radio between 1979 and 2010 – are cherished by crime aficionados worldwide.
Murder Must Advertise sees Lord Peter going undercover in an advertising agency to investigate the death of a copywriter.
The Nine Tailors finds the aristocratic detective stranded in a remote village, where he is drawn into a case of stolen jewels and an unidentified body.
Gaudy Night takes place at Harriet Vane’s old Oxford college, where a series of spiteful pranks and poison-pen letters have torn apart the academic community. With Lord Peter’s help, can she uncover the perpetrator?
In Busman’s Honeymoon, newlyweds Harriet and Peter have their marital bliss disturbed by a body in the basement – and are once again embroiled in a murder investigation.
These evocative dramas also feature Allan Cuthbertson, Peter Jones, Joanna David and Sarah Badel.
Customer Reviews
Good collection, shame about chapters
It's a good collection of dramatisations of Sayers's novels featuring my favourite sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey. So irritating, then, that this audiobook contains four separate novels which aren't identified or even delineated in the contents, which simply run from Chapter 1 to Chapter 25. No way of telling where one dramatised novel ends and the next starts. 5* for the dramatisations and novels, 1* for how this audiobook is presented.
Absolutely Superb!
Lockdown was a doddle with Lord Peter Wimsey for company! Well acted and Ian Carmichael was born to play Lord Peter! Best way to relax and enjoyed every second of these.
