Unnatural Death

This full-cast dramatization is adapted by Chris Miller and produced by Simon Brett. The wealthy Agatha Dawson is dead and there are no apparent signs of foul play. Lord Peter Wimsey, however, senses that something is amiss and he refuses to let the case rest—even without any clues or leads. Suddenly, he is faced with another murder—of Agatha’s maid. Can super-sleuth Wimsey find the murderer and solve the case before he becomes the killer’s next victim?
