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.

Sad it’s over

Last story I think so sad that it’s over. Will look to see if more available

Loved it!

This was great. I don’t usually enjoy “dramatizations” of novels, but this was so very deftly done, it was a real pleasure to listen to! Only wish it went on longer!

Wonderful!

These dramatizations are wonderful, and they add enhancement to already great stories. I am sad that I have listened to them all. Guess I will have to start over!

Good adaptations

The performance is magnificent. Sorry differ. Bit from the book t some points but the plot is there.

wonderful!
