Lord Peter's sense of humor and turn of phrase works perfectly in this setting and, of course, the murder is quite a puzzle.

Never enjoyed a detective story so much - probably because it takes place in a large advertising agency and what goes on there in the everyday run of business is so steadily and even so uproariously funny.
