The Jazz Age: the height of fashion, of opulence and excess. In the Roaring Twenties high living was King and low cunning was Queen. Amidst the art deco and cocktails, diabolical masterminds plotted, schemed and murdered their way to untold fortunes ... and standing in their way was the dapper, monocled Lord Peter Wimsey, the quintessentially English gentleman detective.
With the aid of his manservant Bunter and Scotland Yard’s Inspector Charles “Parker Bird” Parker, Lord Peter risks life and limb to thwart fiendish plots as they investigate cases littered with red herrings and corpses at the heart of the idle rich.
In The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club, Lord Peter Wimsey investigates the seemingly natural death of General Fentiman who, from all the evidence, died peacefully in his chair at the Bellona Club. But when Lord Peter delves further and discovers the General’s death was linked to the distribution of a large inheritance, it’s soon clear his demise was anything but natural…and there are many suspects to suspect!
British cinematic legend Ian Carmichael is joined by an all-star cast as Dorothy L Sayers’ urbane, fiercely intelligent detective and his rich, often murderous world of high society is brought to life in the complete first series of colourful and authentic 1920s whodunits.
