Murder Must Advertise by Dorothy L. Sayers
Oct. 6th, 2010 09:24 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Victor Dean fell to his death on the stairs of Pym’s Advertising Agency, but no one seems to be sorry. Until an inquisitive new copywriter joins the firm and asks some awkward questions ...
Disguised as his disreputable cousin Death Bredon, Lord Peter Wimsey takes a job – one that soon draws him into a vicious network of blackmailers and drug peddlars.
Five people will die before Wimsey unravels a sinister and deadly plot.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
A fascinating detective novel that’s full of twists and turns, this is also an interesting look at working life in the early 1930s and the roots of modern advertising. It’s a great read and although the racial attitudes are very much of the time, it’s nevertheless one that I have no hesitation in recommending.
