Have his carcase - the second Book of D.L.Sayers featuring Lord Peter Wimsey together with Harriet Vane - perfectly played by Edward Petherbridge and Harriet Walter. It's a four part miniseries and although it has been some time since I read the book, I think they have adapted it wonderfully. The chemistry between the ever wooing Lord Peter and the always defensive Harriet comes across beautifully.
Plot summary: Harriet stumbles across a body on the beach and notifies the police and the press. As soon as Lord Peter hears about it he comes after her to help her and the police solving the case.
A Dorothy L. Sayers Mystery - three miniseries produced by the BBC in 1987 and based on the best-selling novels: Strong Poison, Have His Carcase and Gaudy Night.
Director: Christopher Hodson
Lord Peter Wimsey is a fictional character in a series of detective novels and short stories by Dorothy Leigh Sayers. A bon vivant who solves mysteries for his own amusement, Wimsey is an archetype for the British gentleman detective.
