Synopsis:
Lord Peter Wimsey, amateur detective, and his new bride Harriet Vane, mystery
writer, return to the cottage she grew up in for their honeymoon. After vowing to
give up their involvement in crime solving, Lord and Lady Wimsey find
themselves unexpectedly thrust into another mystery when the former owner of
the cottage is found murdered in the cellar. Funny, entertaining mystery in the
Nick and Nora tradition, with Montgomery and Cummings charming in the lead
roles and plenty of oddball characters on hand to liven up the story.
