Murder Must Advertise by Dorothy L. Sayers
1.0
This was soooo boring! I was promised an undercover detective story with high stakes since five people are supposed to die before the mystery is uncovered.
What I got was a whole lot of office gossip that had nothing to do with the story. Some guys talking about parrots and dogs and an entire cricket game. And yes, some people died in a very underwhelming way after like 290 pages.
There were a million characters who were all exactly the same, I didn’t care about the victim and therefore also not for the murder to be solved. The detecting was done behind closed doors and we were just told the results in like 2 chapters that were remotely interesting. Everything else could have just been cut.
