When copywriter Victor Dean falls to his death on the stairs of Pym's Advertising Agency, everyone assumes it was an unfortunate accident. His replacement doesn't think so and begins asking a lot of questions. The new man is something of a mystery to his colleagues, and he certainly dresses well considering his meagre writer's salary.
Of course the new copywriter is none other than Lord Peter Wimsey, working incognito to uncover the truth behind what is certainly murder. In between writing catchy slogans, Wimsey sets out to catch the murderer and finds a network of blackmailers, drug pushers, and killers.
But the deeper he gets into this criminal underworld, the more his own life is in danger. And as the murders increase, he must work to a tight deadline if he is to solve the case before it's too late.

1.25 Ingleby says: 'This will add an air of verisimilitude to an otherwise ...'. A charming paraphrasing of WS Gilbert's lovely line: 'Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.'

Yes thank you indeed! Jane McDowell was a weird choice to read this series of books, and for the majority of the series that’s all Audible offers.

I once fell down a staircase while carrying a stack of LP records, having stepped out over the top step into midair because I couldn't see where I was going. I didn't let go of the records until my head thumped into the wall at the turn in the stairs. The stairs were carpeted. No-one came to investigate my accident, despite the considerable noise of my descent. I was in a hotel, but I was staff, not a guest, so not a real person. None of the records were damaged and I was young, and did not sustain any lasting harm myself, though nobody would have cared much anyway. I always remember this when I hear of staircase falls.

Glad you and your records survived the fall! Thanks for listening in!

that’s a great story! & since vinyl is making a resurgence, a whole new generation will know what “LP records” are!!

I only fared slightly better after pitching down the steep wooden stairs at work.. the only other person around that day was busy fitting something on the next floor up, and called down after at least five minutes, "are you alright?"..

I do so know how you feel. I had a boss once who shut himself in his office after hearing his pregnant assistant solicitor fall down the stairs. He waited until he heard someone else go to her assistance. She was fine. He was an arsehole! Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.@@martas9283

1:48:48 Edit. I left this 'comment' as a reminder of where I'd listened to.. When I'd listened further into the book, I intended to delete it, but now 'it's received a kind response it feels quite rude to delete it. Lord Peter, Mervyn Bunter or even Death Bredon would _never_ condone rudeness, so the bookmark forever remain (but with this explanatory edit).

Does anyone familiar with the books know why Lord Peter's second name is 'Death', here curiously pronounced Deeth ??

@ImListeningIn 5 ай бұрын

I'm not sure why but I did read somewhere that "Deeth" is the correct pronunciation of it. Maybe another listener might know and could enlighten us. Thanks for listening in!

@lynd7081 5 ай бұрын

De’ath

@ldm2728 5 ай бұрын

from other LPW books, De’ath (dee-ath) is the “true”pronunciation, however LPW changes this purposely for effect or reaction depending on the situation & the people he is dealing with.

@maryholden3136 3 ай бұрын

It's his middle name, Norman I think

@cathygould 2 ай бұрын

It's unusual, but not exclusive to Lord Peter. In Sir Terry Pratchett's DiscWorld, 41 books, there's at least one character with the same name and 9 pronunciation. In Men at Arms, I think.
