Emmy Award-winner Diana Rig (Rebecca, The Avengers) portrays the glamorous and outspoken Mrs. Adela Bradley, a well-traveled, well-appointed divorcee who dabbles in psycho-analysis, toxicology, pre-feminism , and murder investigations.
Assisted by her devoted chauffeur and confidant George Moody (Neil Dudgeon), Mrs. Bradley solves the most complicated crimes with a sly combination of charm, intelligence, and wit. In this set of five scintillating mysteries, she gets the lowdown on the upper crust - much to the bemusement of Police Inspector Christmas (Peter Davison).
