Seller's Description:
Good. 3 disc set. Audio CD in hard clamshell case. Library stamps and markings. "Rustic old Riddlesdale Lodge was a Wimsey family retreat filled with country pleasures and the thrill of the hunt--until the game turned up human and quite dead. He lay among the chrysanthemums, wore slippers and a dinner jacket and was Lord Peter's brother-in-law-to-be. His accused murderer was Wimsey's own brother, and if murder set all in the family wasn't enough to boggle the unflappable Lord Wimsey, perhaps a few twists of fate would be, a mysterious vanishing midnight letter from Egypt, a grieving fiancee with suitcase in hand, and a bullet destined for one very special Wimsey."
