Publisher's Summary
Ian Carmichael stars as Lord Peter Wimsey in these definitive BBC radio dramatisations of Dorothy L Sayers' classic crime novels.
Aristocratic amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey was the master creation of Dorothy L Sayers, widely acknowledged as one of the four original 'Queens of Crime'. These full-cast adaptations - first broadcast on BBC radio in the 1970s, and presented here in their entirety - are admired by fans of the genre worldwide.
Whose Body? is the tale that first introduced Lord Peter to the world, and sees him investigating the case of a corpse in a Battersea bathtub and a vanished oil millionaire.
In Clouds of Witness, Lord Peter's eldest brother stands accused of murder. In collaboration with Inspector Parker, Wimsey slowly uncovers a web of lies and deceit within his own family....
Unnatural Death finds Peter probing the mysterious death of an elderly lady. He suspects foul play, and with the help of the indomitable Miss Climpson, sets about his investigations in deepest Hampshire....
Produced by Simon Brett (author of the Charles Paris series), these acclaimed dramas also feature Peter Jones, Patricia Routledge, Miriam Margolyes and Garard Green.

So great. Just find musical interludes way too loud
I’ve come to really understand and warm to the characters which,at first, I thought were very shallow. Stories were fun and interesting. Played very well by actors. I just found the music interludes WAY too loud. I understand it was time period appropriate for radio drama but it was a shame I couldn’t listen to them whilst going off to sleep or doing something quiet.
Worth persisting though.

Excellent but...
The transition music from one chapter to the next is too loud and too long for an audio book. Extremely unpleasant having to adjust the volume all the time and not at all relaxing.

Easy listening
I enjoyed these light hearted gentleman sleuths. The narration is spot on, and the plots interesting, but you can't take the characters too seriously. Good easy listening series.
