Lord Peter Wimsey is
getting married to Harriet Vane.
Peter is an amateur detective and Harriet writes crime novels. They have promised each other they will
retire from solving crimes and writing novels after they are married. Harriet has small charm bracelets made
for them so they can remember their promises. Peter purchases an old Jacobean home called Tall-boys as a
surprise wedding present for Harriet. She
grew up in this area. The day
after their arrival, the body of the previous owner is found in the cellar.
No matter how hard they try to keep their promises, how can
they let a murder in their new home remain unsolved? It’s a little complicated keeping the characters and who
they are in order. 3* (This movie is OK)
