Publisher's Summary

The best of the golden age crime writers, praised by all the top modern writers in the field including P. D. James and Ruth Rendell, Dorothy L. Sayers created the immortal Lord Peter Wimsey. In his tenth appearance, he takes a job as an advertising copywriter to expose a ruthless killer.

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....

Brilliant all around

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.

Great story

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

Probably Her Best

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.
