aspiring (yet woefully untalented) actress with a fondness for rich, yet older widowers. Colonel Michael Mustard: A 'gallant' war hero whose medals are a matter of question. Impoverished and hounded by tax collectors and creditors, he needs money, and fast. Mr. John Green (AKA Reverend Green): A man of god, despite not finishing seminary, he is suspected to be involved in fraud, theft and money laundering. Professor Peter Plum: A brilliant mind, now dimming, he was recently fired from the British Museum after there was a possible question about his writings, and the sudden "vanishing" of his old rival. Book format Mr. Boddy is murdered at some point in every chapter, only to re-appear—and be murdered again in the next, almost as if that mystery stands alone. Each mystery is a different version of the main plot, Mr. Boddy's murder, unlike the original series. The murderer and motive changes for each story. Compared to the 1990 series, these stories are more complex, filled with more dialogue and Britishisms, such as "post". Only two books were made. References Book series
