A Charles Paris Mystery: Dead Room Farce

Více o knize

Charles Paris, Simon Brett's actor-cum-accidental sleuth, returns to the boards in this seventeenth novel in the popular series. When he is offered the chance to go on tour as a member of the cast of Not On Your Wife!, a new play by a prolific British farceur, he seizes the opportunity. The plot thickens when the tour reaches Bath. Charles seems to be too deeply into his role in the bedroom farce on stage and off; he is caught with his pants down after becoming unwittingly involved with two women. Charles is also enjoying a boisterous reunion with an old drinking buddy who runs the recording studio where Charles is making an audio book. But when his friend is found murdered, Charles quickly becomes a suspect. At least one member of the cast has a secret to hide, and Charles is soon up to his usual off-stage histrionics in an effort to clear his name so this won't become his final curtain call.
