About this listen

It was 1921 when Lord Peter Wimsey first encountered the Attenbury emeralds. The recovery of the magnificent gem in Lord Attenbury's most dazzling heirloom made headlines - and launched a shell-shocked young aristocrat on his career as a detective.

Now it is 1951. A happily married Lord Peter has just shared the secrets of that mystery with his wife, the detective novelist Harriet Vane. Then the new young Lord Attenbury - grandson of Lord Peter's first client - seeks his help again, this time to prove who owns the gigantic emerald that Wimsey last saw in 1921.

It will be the most intricate and challenging mystery he has ever faced....

It was an absolute pleasure to hear Lord Peter Wimsey being read by Edward Petherbridge, who has played the part in the T.V. series, rather than the woman who reads the Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries here on Audible. Jill Paton Walsh does a great job of picking up where D.L.Sayers left off. I hope to hear the others in this series soon.

I so wish Edward Petherbridge could read the whole series - they are wonderful stories and some other narrators have utterly ruined them. EP was the perfect Peter Whimsey in the television series along with Harriet Walter as Harriet Vane. As a narrator he captures the lightness and charm and underlying sensitivity of the main character, while giving equal weight to Harriet’s more apparent interior life. Bravo!!

Edward Petherbridge is the ultimate Peter Whimsey

Love the narration, the story and the characters. Very satisfying, I didnt want it to end. Jill Paton Walsh has the rare gift of taking over someone else's characters and telling more of their stories seamlessly.

Wonderful
