Summary:
Acclaimed actress Patricia Routledge captivated American and British audiences alike as the 60-something housewife-turned-detective, Hetty Wainthropp. This collection captures Hetty's entire sleuthing career in one complete set, including some episodes not seen on the PBS Mystery! broadcast. Armed with little more than a no-nonsense attitude, a whip-smart mind, and plenty of moxie, Hetty takes on cases involving Mafiosi, missing persons, and murder, assisted by her eager apprentice Geoffrey and doting husband Robert. Her old-fashioned common sense and unfailing compassion make Hetty a detective to be reckoned with and to cherish.
