A Family Affair - Lord Peter Wimsey: Clouds of Witness review by CR
Lord Peter, played by the ever excellent Ian Carmichael, gets involved in a suspected murder at the home of his brother, the Duke of Denver, what follows is a classic Dorothy L. Sayers mystery, with a few red herrings thrown in for good measure. The British class system of the 20's is depicted and gently ribbed (especially the House of Lords).
