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.

Great dramatization but hugely abridged.
As with the other stories on this recording, the dramatisation is very well done but the sort is abridged to a ridiculous degree. Splitting the shortened book into seven parts with lengthy interstitial parts further shortens it. That said, Sayers’ story is well worth the listening.

Very good
I really quite enjoyed this, though it's not exactly to the book. But then I suppose dramatasations have to combine certain actions, plot points etc. to provide as full a picture as possible. I would recommend it to any lover of Dorothy L Sayers or indeed Lord Peter Wimsey.
