A Peter Wimsey Omnibus

Time for some Wimsey

Murder Must Advertise is a classic mystery novel by Dorothy L. Sayers, featuring Lord Peter Wimsey. Most of the action of the novel takes place in an advertising agency, a setting with which Sayers was familiar as she had herself worked as an advertising copywriter until 1931.

"A superb example of Sayers' ability to set a group of people going. The advertising agency is inimitable, and hence better than the De Momerie crowd that goes with it. The murder is ingenious and Wimsey is just right." – Barzun and Taylor's Catalogue of Crime

The Nine Tailors is set in the Lincolnshire Fens and revolves around a group of bell-ringers at the local parish church. The book has been described as Sayers' finest literary achievement.
