Product Details/SpecificationsActor(s): Ian Carmichael Glyn Houston Mark Eden Rachel Herbert David Langton Recording label: Acorn Media EAN: 0054961333233Binding: VHS TapeNumber of items: 4Format: Box set, Color, NTSC, Release Date: 1999-09-11Universal product code (UPC): 054961333233Number of discs: 5Audience rating: NR (Not Rated)Amazon.com Ah, there's nothing quite like settling in and getting cozy with a complicated British country-estate murder. In the BBC adaptation of Dorothy Sayers's detective novel, which also aired on PBS, the brilliant Lord Peter Wimsey brings his investigative talents to use close to home. His future brother-in-law is slain during a country retreat, and while there seems to be no shortage of possible suspects, the investigation quickly centers on Wimsey's brother Gerald, the Duke of Windsor. The five-tape adaptation takes its delicious time in delving deeper into the psyche of the unhappy circle around the deceased, as Wimsey tries to avert a full trial of a peer of the realm. Ian Carmichael shines as Wimsey, one of English detective fiction's most memorable heroes--more nimble than Miss Marple, more willful than Poirot, more upbeat than Adam Dalgliesh. All mystery fans need for a lovely and satisfying afternoon is this series and a couple of strong pots of tea. --Anne Hurley
