Description

The body was on the pointed rocks alongside the stream. The artist might have fallen from the cliff where he was painting, but there are too many suspicious elements -- particularly the medical evidence that proves he'd been dead nearly half a day, though eyewitnesses had seen him alive a scant hour earlier. And then there are the six prime suspects -- all of them artists, all of whom wished him dead. Five are red herrings, but one has created a masterpiece of murder that baffles everyone, including Lord Peter Wimsey.1/8 The Body In The BurnLord Peter Wimsey's Scottish fishing is curtailed by the death of a local artist.His Lordship and faithful Bunter investigate.2/8 DisappearancesLord Peter Wimsey investigates the death of a Scottish artist but the key suspects keep disappearing.3/8 BicyclesLord Peter Wimsey's investigations of the death of an artist are complicated by the disappearance of several bicycles.4/8 Bunter InvestigatesLord Peter Wimsey's faithful manservant, Bunter, takes the initiative in the investigation of the murder of a Scottish artist.5/8 AlibisLord Peter Wimsey sets about verifying the alibis of the key suspects in the murder of a Scottish artist.6/8 Evidence Of A Commercial TravellerLord Peter Wimsey pores over the evidence and sifts the clues to establish who murdered a Scottish artist.7/8 Council Of WarThere are many theories in the case of a murdered Scottish artist, but Lord Peter Wimsey is the man to get to the bottom of it.8/8 ReconstructionLord Peter Wimsey and his 'council of war' reconstruct the final hours of a murdered Scottish artist.
