Summary
Two delightful detective dramas adapted from Jill Paton Walsh's bestselling books
Award-winning author Jill Paton Walsh was well known for her four Lord Peter Wimsey novels that continued and completed Dorothy L. Sayers's much-loved series. These two cosy crime dramas introduce her own sparkling creation, Imogen Quy, a college nurse and amateur sleuth who investigates foul play in academia.
The Wyndham Case - The tranquil atmosphere of St Agatha's College, Cambridge is shattered when a young undergraduate is found dead on the floor of a specialist library. The repository of a rare collection of 17th-century scientific volumes, the 'Wyndham Case' is always kept locked: so how did Philip Skellow get in? And was his death accidental - or murder? Imogen is determined to find out... Starring Carolyn Pickles as Imogen Quy.
A Piece of Justice - When Imogen's lodger Fran Bullion is asked to write the biography of eminent mathematician Gideon Summerfield, she is delighted - but Imogen fears she may be in danger. Three previous would-be biographers have either died or disappeared, and their research stopped at the same point in their subject's life: August 1978. What secret surrounds that fateful summer, and who is willing to kill to protect it? Barbara Flynn stars as Imogen, with Tracy Wiles as Fran.

Not in-depth but
These are enjoyably dramatised. Some more background on the characters would be really helpful. Otherwise these are enjoyable

Caroline Pickles in the first episode is awful
two stories on here, the second one is better. Pickles portrayal of Imogen in the first story is smug and patronising to say the least. I'd lost interest by the denouement. The second story is much better and has a much better plot and the actress playing Imogen is alot easier on the ear!

Ok
Have read the books in the past and enjoyed them. These were much abridged, so not as good. I enjoyed the first story the wyndham bequest, which had different readers, but the second was not as good. To me there seemed to be some, rather noisy overacting. I may listen to the first story again, but not the second. Or I may just return it.
