Murder Must Advertise by Dorothy L. Sayers
4.0
This isn’t Sayers at her absolute best on a character front (though that may be my prejudice against the Harriet Vane-less Whimsey novels), but there’s quite a bit of meaty social commentary on work, class, and money. The advertising firm was particularly lively and rich in detail, informed as it was by Sayers’ own copywriting background. The undercover premise made for some enjoyable outsider’s perspective our lead civilian detective’s fish-out-of-water forays into the working world.
