Murder with a Wink | The Chief Inspector Dover Mysteries | Joyce Porter | BBC Radio 4 Crime Drama

Описание: Step into the delightfully irreverent world of Chief Inspector Dover, Joyce Porter’s brilliantly unorthodox detective brought to life in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast crime drama.

When Dover is sent to the sleepy Yorkshire town of Pott Winckle to investigate the brutal murder of a wealthy businessman’s daughter, his patience—and waistline—are tested to their limits. But beneath the small-town respectability lurks a tangle of grudges, secrets, and opportunists eager to hide the truth.

🔍 The Story:
What begins as a routine investigation quickly spirals into chaos. Between endless cups of tea, Dover must navigate local gossip, false confessions, and an ambitious young sergeant who’s far too keen for his liking. As motives multiply and tempers flare, Dover’s laziness might just be his greatest weapon—because in Pott Winckle, the killer never expects him to care enough to notice.
