This is her treatise (pan if you will) on that stalwart of trade: advertising. When an account executive falls to his death on a spiral staircase, Lord Peter Wimsey goes undercover and comes up with murderone after another. But, oh lord, a cricket match. well, it will have significance later on. True to detective fiction of the period, Wimsey convinces a drug dealer and his squeeze that he has a twin: a cousin no less. But, as this is England, where relationship boundaries seem non-existent, I suppose it might very well be. Of course, he hoodwinks them hook, line, and sinker. Give me a break! Yet, this is still one of the author's best yarns.
