Wonderful vintage BBC 4 radio dramatisations! The most witty Ian Carmichael is ably supported by skilful actors. Busman's Honeymoon my favourite. Poor Bunter!

[Miss Clark · Rating 4 out of 5]

My favourite of the Wimsey mysteries thus far. And this full cast audio production is really well done!

[John · Rating 3 out of 5]

Downloaded version of MURDER MUST ADVERTISE only. The story was apparently dashed off to fulfill a contract obligation, and it really shows--what with all the really nice coincidences, contrivances (at one point to keep his identity secret Wimsey successfully plays his identical ne'er do well cousin) and multiple murders. The script is OK, but as customary the British actors swallow half their sentences so listening outside or when there are any extraneous noises is difficult. Wasn't a terrible experience, but I probably won't do it again, or try any of the other dramatizations.

My favorite Sayer's book, I really enjoyed the BBC dramatization on this audiobook.

[Skylar Burris]

I listened to one of these I got from the library (Murder Must Advertise), and enjoyed it.
