Five Red Herrings & Murder Must Advertise The Five Red Herrings And Murder Must Advertise Dorothy L. Sayers - Garden City, NY Nelson Doubleday 1933 - 600 p. Hardback
The Five Red Herrings: The artist's body lay across the pointed rocks along the stream. Six prime suspects--all of them artists--wanted him dead. Five were red herrings, but one had created a masterpiece of murder that baffled everyone, including Lord Peter Wimsey. Originally published in 1931. Murder Must Advertise: 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.
