Your Humble Blogger’s copy of Murder Must Advertise is pretty beat-up. I’ve read it a lot, I guess. It’s fun. I think I like Lord Peter more in this book than in any other, and of course he gets to play three different roles over the course of the book. It’s an odd little mystery, of course, and as usual the actual murder is a small part of the mystery. Also as usual, the murder method is totally crazy; the whole steal-a-catty-and-sneak-on-to-the-roof business is calculated to get a person caught. One of the incidental murders is far more plausible (shove a guy under a train). Anyway, as I’ve said before, you don’t read Dorothy Sayers for the murders.

This is one of my favorites because of the way Lord Peter seems to enjoy his (undercover) advertising job and his cleverness at the job and how he gets on with the other staff when he’s just one of the blokes.
