Book Summary :

Five Red Herrings - Painting can be a dangerous pastime. When a famous artist is found dead, and a painting done in his style used to stage the death as accidental, Lord Peter Wimsey must solve a murder with exactly six suspects – six local artists talented enough to have painted the fake, and with motive to kill the painter. Five of them are Red Herrings, but one is a murderer. / Murder Must Advertise - Mad Men weren’t the first advertisers with dark secrets.

When an advertising copywriter is murdered under suspicious circumstances, Lord Peter Wimsey must go undercover to solve the case; by day, as a respected member of an advertising agency, and by night, as a wild bohemian. When he starts to sniff out evidence of a cocaine ring connected to the murder, things become rather more dangerous than Lord Peter bargained for.
