Lord Peter must prove the innocence of his brother, The Duke of Denver, who is accused of killing The Fiancé of his sister Mary, Cathcart.
It's a terrific series, if you enjoy intrigue, suspense and mystery, then you will love this series, over forty years old it still offers so much. I compare this to modern day dramas, and it is superior in almost every way, plot, acting, sets, costumes, and the fact that the story has a clear start, middle and conclusion.
Wimsey is described as being similar to Sherlock Holmes, and he is, he's just a bit more upper class, a bit more refined, but equally as sharp witted.
Some great scenes, including a dear death experience in a bog, but best of all is the final episode, which sees a court room showdown, it is pretty spectacular.
I love that we get to see Lord Peter's family, they really are a bunch of characters, wonderfully upper class, but all different, all characters. Absolutely love Helen, she's hilarious.
It is excellent from start to finish, 9/10.
