Three perplexing puzzles - and three inimitable Wimsey solutions - told with wit, humor, and suspense. Narrator Ian Carmichael, the quintessential Lord Peter, provides great entertainment with his talented performance of these three stories.

In "Striding Folly", a frightening dream provides a haunting premonition. A house numbered 13 is in a street of even numbers, and a dead man was never alive in "The Haunted Policeman." And "Talboys" sees Lord Peter's own children accused of theft.

I felt like I was catching up with old friends.
It was wonderful to see how Harriet maintains her literary life while watching over a brood of children.
Lord Peter glows as a father and lives an enchanted existence through and with his eldest son.
Bunter though in a much diminished capacity is still available for carrying out services that are so not ordinary.
Missed Lord Peter's mother. I love that character.

Delightful!!

I may enjoy Dorothy Sayers’ short stories even more than her novels. You get Lord Peter’s trademark wit, acumen and literary allusions, plus an unexpected resolution, all in less than an hour.

In this case, you also get Ian Carmichael, the man whom, for those of us who grew up watching Masterpiece Theater, simply is Lord Peter Wimsey.

Settled Pleasure
