    About this ebook

    Things are going suspiciously well for Charles Paris. He has moved back in with his ex-wife and landed a proper part in a proper production: Sir Toby Belch in Twelfth Night. But when two members of the theatre company suddenly fall ill, Charles finds himself in trouble again - both on and off stage.

      If you're like me, and like your crime stories to be a lighthearted challenge rather than a gore fest, then Simon Brett's oeuvre is for you. Charles Paris, the down at heel actor is no Poirot: he stumbles to a solution, taking the reader with him every step of the way. Then, just when one is convinced as to the perpetrator of this heinous act, there's a swerve and the culprit is a rank outsider.I have read most of this series now, and one would expect that I would have twigged this by now. Mr Brett is a sufficiently skilled writer that, at the same time as one thinks one has spotted the body swerve, pirouettes to an entirely different solution. Brilliant entertainment.

      Very agreeable, indeed. Yet so flimsy, it should be printed on onion skin.
