Enjoyed this very much. A fascinating look into the advertising industry. Sayers using her experience as a copywriter really made the book come to life. Her advertising slogans were a hoot. I must say, though, that there were quite a few characters present and I was losing track of them. All the men seemed so similar which may have been Sayers' intention. The mystery and its revelation were a little disappointing to me. I don't care for the "confessionals." I was lost reading the actions of the cricket match. Overall, a solid B [4 stars] even though there were elements I didn't like the book was very well written. I did enjoy this one more so than Strong Poison. An interesting sidebar. I didn't realize that they knew in 1933 that nicotine was so addictive and cigarettes damaged lungs. And cocaine "dope" was a relatively new concern for the police at that time.

Next will be a change. A sci-fi freebie. I'll read Starfish by Peter Watts. The first in his Rifters series. He offers these as a free download from his website.
