This was the second Lord Peter Wimsey story to be adapted for radio in the mid-seventies. Broadcast May 5th to June 16th 1975, it was adapted by Chris Miller and produced by Simon Brett. The case of Agatha Dawson is closed, but Lord Peter Wimsey is not satisfied. With no clues to work on, he begins his own investigation. Then Agatha's maid is suddenly murdered. The episode titles are: 1) ‘No Sign of Foul Play’ 2) ‘Death in Epping Forest’ 3) ‘The Will’ 4) ‘Hallelujah’ 5) ‘The Property Act’ 6) ‘Vera Findlater’ and 7) ‘Miss Climpson Investigates’. This will be the ninth, and probably the last, Radio Collection release of the Lord Peter Wimsey stories starring Ian Carmichael.©2002 BBC Audiobooks Ltd; (P)2009 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Classics Crime Fiction Detective Fiction Mystery Traditional Detectives Crime

Ian Carmichael is the quintessential Lord Peter on screen and through audio his performance is superb. All the cast members play their parts to perfection and do justice to Dorothy Sayers' writing. Her plots have always been absorbing and intricate and a joy to read or to listen to.

Brilliantly played

Any additional comments?

This particular adaptation is separated into episodes as originally produced on live radio. I much prefer not to have these separations but to have the narration in a continual flow as it is in the other Dorothy Sayers' I've listened to. That's why I've not given 5 stars but the content is typically good Dorothy Sayers.

A great piece of writing to listen to - if that isn't too much of a juxtaposition! Her usual high standard of story telling told by Peter Carmichael & Co., wonderfully!
I will now continue with the next one....

Another wonderful piece of writing
