The elegant, intelligent amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey is one of detective literature's most popular creations. Ian Carmichael is the personification of Dorothy L. Sayers' charming investigator in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation. When Sandy Campbell's body is found at the foot of a cliff near the small town of Kircdubright, the local constabulary are convinced that the argumentative painter is the victim of a tragic accident. But when Lord Peter Wimsey turns up, the hunt begins for an ingenious killer. Faced with six men, all of whom have a motive for murder, the aristocratic amateur sleuth must deduce which are the five red herrings and which has blood on his hands.

      At first, the death of a Scottish painter in an artist colony appears to be an unfortunate accident, but it soon develops into a case for murder. Sayers's cunning sleuth, Lord Peter Wimsey, quickly brings six suspects to light, but the difficulty arises in finding who is guilty amid the numerous theories concerning the case. This full-cast audio version produces an energetic reading that perfectly suites Sayers's lighthearted narrative. Ian Carmichael is delightful in his role as Wimsey. His character's amiable demeanor comes through in a warm, playful tone that gives the impression he always has a trick up his sleeve. A talented cast and an intriguing adventure keep the listener guessing throughout. T.D.M. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
