The tenth book in Dorothy L Sayers' classic Lord Peter Wimsey series, introduced by Sunday Times bestselling crime writer Peter Robinson.

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 pedlars.

Five people will die before Wimsey unravels a sinister and deadly plot.©1933 The Trustees of Anthony Fleming Crime Fiction Detective Domestic Thrillers Genre Fiction Medical Mystery Thriller & Suspense Fiction Crime Short Story

Lord Peter will always be superb (and incredibly sexy!). Sayers' cricket match is fiction's best. What I don't understand is the general braying about Jane McDowell's narration. I have many audible books and her voice is up with the best. For a woman to narrate male characters is just as plausible as the reverse. Bravo all around.

Brilliant all around

I first read this the old way in book form more than 50 years ago. Found it terrific then and still do. Amazing how the plot still impresses. This was Dorothy Sayers’ most readable book.

Probably Her Best

One hundred years ago life in an office was very similar to today except for missing some modern inventions. One of my favourite novels from Dorothy L Sayers

Great story

The narrators odd style was so distracting it did detract from the quality of the story.

Great story; disappointing narration

A fascinating window into social history. Richly illustrated with the author’s real life experience in the advertising industry. And such versatility in her writing - the dialogue spans classes, professions, ages, writing types. And very rich and realistically drawn. Defs her best one so far.

The best Wimsey so far
