Can anybody help me and explain, why this particular book is not available as a free download.

Dorothy L Sayers died in 1957. Her books are not out of copyright in the EU and most of the rest of the world until 1st January 2028.
Her Lord Peter Wimsey novels were all published after 1922. I believe they were all renewed correctly at the US Copyright Office, and so are all in copyright in the US until at least 1st January 2019.
Any of her books that you've obtained as free downloads are almost certainly unauthorised 'pirate' copies.
The policy of this site is not to encourage, condone, or help in piracy of ebooks.
[EDIT: I have rightly been taken to task for the tone of this message. There are countries with Life+50 copyright laws, of which Canada is one, and is where the MobileRead servers reside. For people in Life+50 countries, downloading free copies of her works is entirely legitimate. I do apologise for jumping to conclusions.]
