But beneath its postcard-perfect surface lies a town full of hidden stories. This immersive drama collection follows the lives of the visitors and residents who pass through Porthant Bay, each revealing their hopes, regrets, secrets and dreams through the postcards they send home. As lives briefly intersect, moments of joy, loss, mystery and unexpected connection unfold against the backdrop of the Cornish coast. Among them are a woman returning to Cornwall for the first time in sixty years; two sisters uncovering long-buried family secrets; a bank employee on the run with stolen cash; a diver investigating a Tudor shipwreck; teenagers on a caravan holiday; and a fading Hollywood star seeking refuge far from the spotlight. Whether escaping the past, searching for answers or beginning again, everyone has a story to tell.

The washed-up body of a man presumed dead seven years earlier marks the beginning of Clara Page's mission to find the elusive Aldrich Kemp… Who is Aldrich Kemp? Series one plunges intelligence analyst Clara Page into the glamorous and sometimes improbable world of the mysterious Aldrich Kemp. Encountering Euro-villains and murderous housekeepers she learns some surprising family history along the way. When events take a shocking turn can she reply on the man she is hunting to save her…? Who Killed Aldrich Kemp? Our heroine Clara Page returns, and this time the question is deadly serious - Who Killed Aldrich Kemp? Series two is another rollercoaster ride, from the Italian Riviera to the unexplored Malaysian jungle - via afternoon tea at Themis House and a medieval village. There are new faces and new challenges in store. Cup of tea anyone? Where is Aldrich Kemp? The gang is back in series three! When details of an incredibly rare flower are stolen during a break-in at the Linnean Society, there are fears the thieves turn it into the most deadly biological weapon the world has ever seen.

With witty dialogue and standout sound production Aldrich Kemp is a listening treat, not to be missed. 'What's so enjoyable about this series…is the way it uses audio. Oh, and the OTT action. There's a hilarious section in episode two where you follow what's going on through the sound of explosions and motorbike revving and automatic gunfire and the pouf of a silenced bullet and 'Oh crap!'. It made me laugh out loud. It's joyous….Aldrich Kemp is an excellent audio version and this daft series is just the tonic for rainy weekends or the horribleness of news.'
