Jemima Shore Investigates was a Thames Television series that ran for one season of twelve episodes in 1983. The series starred Patricia Hodge in the title role of journalist-turned-detective and was based upon the books by Antonia Fraser (list at bottom of page). Penguin Books published two of the original books with TV-themed covers. Methuen Books published one novelisation book (covering seven TV episodes) and two of Fraser's books with TV-themed covers (the remaining six books in the series having been originally published long after the TV series ended). Incidentally, the first book 'Quiet as a Nun' was previously dramatised in a six-part serial as part of the ITV Armchair Thriller television series in 1978 and starring Maria Aitken in the title role. = In My Collection / = Not in My Collection
