"Strong Poison"

Date night this weekend included two nights watching the three episode series of Dorothy L. Sayers Mysteries -- "Strong Poison" -- DVD. This is the first of Sayers mystery series featuring writer Harriet Vane who is on trial for murdering her lover. Lord Peter Wimsey falls in love with her from afar and sets out to prove her innocence and only has four weeks to do it after the jury in her first trial can't agree on a verdict. Harriet Vane is played by Harriet Walter and Lord Peter Wimsey by Edward Petherbridge. Lots of twists and turns kept us guessing as to the lady's innocence or guilt and, if not guilty, who the culprit was?

Happy viewing - pazt
