Relation Toward Books Murder Must Advertise (Lord Peter Wimsey #10)

When ad man Victor Dean falls down the stairs in the offices of Pym's Publicity, a respectable London advertising agency, it looks like an accident. Then Lord Peter Wimsey is called in, and he soon discovers there's more to copywriting than meets the eye. A bit of cocaine, a hint of blackmail, and some wanton women can be read between the lines. And then there is the brutal succession of murders -- 5 of them -- each one a fixed fee for advertising a deadly secret.

Criticize Out Of Books Murder Must Advertise (Lord Peter Wimsey #10)

This is a fun story in terms of the whole idea of Peter being undercover, actually working for his living in an advertising company. Here it makes perfect sense that hes great at it, and the way he pokes around shamelessly is a delight. Im not so enamoured of any of the secondary characters in this one, though: Parker barely appears, Bunter and Harriet are entirely absent, and the other characters are all new (and confined to this mystery). It remains fun, but its not one of the ones that get me

Re-read. I think I enjoyed this even more this time around knowing DL Sayers worked in an advertising office. The whole Whiffling subplot follows Sayers own advertising experience closely with the famous mustard campaign which is also mentioned in this book.

After a brief fling with Miss Marple, I'm back with Lord Peter Wimsey - the most delightful detective who ever delighted whilst detecting. This book is one of two Dorothy Sayers mysteries featured on The List, and while I didn't enjoy it as much as Strong Poison, it was still very good. The majority of the action takes place at Pym's Publicity, an advertising firm in London. One of their employees recently and mysteriously died after falling down an iron staircase in the office, and it's

2.5**When an up and coming advertising copy writer falls down an iron staircase in the office, breaking his neck, its viewed as a tragic accident. Soon his replacement is on board and asking lots of questions. What the staff doesnt know is that Mr Bredon is actually Lord Peter Wimsey and he is working undercover to investigate the death, and a drug-smuggling ring. Ive never read any of this series before, and this one is #10. I know they are popular and have heard of them over the years. This

If this is the first of Dorothy L Sayers Lord Peter Wimsey novels you have read then you could be forgiven for being a little confused at the beginning. If you have read some of the other novels featuring the noble sleuth you will immediately identify Death Bredon as Peter Wimsey. He takes up employment at Pym's advertising agency at the request of the owner of the firm following the death of a member of staff - Victor Dean. Wimsey takes to the work like a duck to water and starts writing

I don't think I appreciate Dorothy Sayers as much as I should. Really, this is probably a 4-star book that I've given only 3, because I felt she got away from the murder solving a bit too much. I should be enjoying her long asides into the advertising world and the game of cricket. I should be impressed by the seriousness in which she handles drugs and death. It's all quite masterful and ahead of her time. I mean to say, her craft and characters are more mature than her contemporaries. Perhaps

This is the best Wimsey book. A marvelously venomous send-up of the advertising world, still sickeningly applicable today, it has lots of biting wit and some compassion as well for those caught up in this silly little world. Wimsey's incarnations here...ad man, himself, evil man-about-town, and outstanding cricketer...are fascinating. One is so intrigued with the book that one doesn't notice that Wimsey can be, and sometimes is, soporifically perfect. Nevertheless, for fans of the literate
