Murder Must Advertise (Lord Peter Wimsey, Bk 10)
kerriganm avatar reviewed Lord Peter Wimsey goes undercover- gripping yarn on + 20 more book reviews


Lord Peter Wimsey goes undercover and the suspense mounts! Dorothy Sayers has obviously done her research- into the methods of 1930's advertising copywriters, into the arcania of cricket, even into the methods of illicit drug distribution. None of this ever comes off as pedantic, however. These details serve to make a roller coaster ride of a suspenseful, complex story with wonderfully rich characters even more believable.
