Meet Charles Paris: a washed-up actor with a taste for wine, women . . . and solving crimes! A binge-worthy cozy mystery series from the original king of British cozy crime, internationally best-selling, award-winning author Simon Brett, OBE. For fans of Richard Osman - but with added bite!
"Like a little malice in your mysteries? Some cynicism in your cosies? Simon Brett is happy to oblige" THE NEW YORK TIMES
"Few crime writers are as enchantingly gifted" THE SUNDAY TIMES
"One of British crime's most assured craftsmen . . . Perfect entertainment" THE GUARDIAN
"A new Simon Brett is an event for mystery fans" P.D. JAMES
"Murder most enjoyable" COLIN DEXTER
_______________________
One middle-aged actor, making ends meet - and occasionally solving murders
One student drama society, performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival
One bag, full of prop knives . . .
It all adds up to SO MUCH BLOOD
(Mostly) out of work actor Charles Paris has bypassed his showbiz agent and found himself a job: a week at the famous Edinburgh comedy festival, performing his one-man show.
"Is this the right thing for you to be doing, artistically?" Maurice warns, with the same moving appeal he makes every time Charles suggests something unprofitable. But Charles is determined - and heads off to Edinburgh, ready to perform as part of the Derby University Dramatic Society.
He first has regrets when he sees the poster advertising his show, which reads: DUDS ON THE FRINGE . . . and the greatest of these is Charles Paris.
But worse is yet to come. While waiting for the rehearsal room to be free, Charles accidentally witnesses a scene from the DUDS' own play. Student drama can be murder - but even Charles doesn't expect to see the show's star, rock musician Willy Mariello, stabbed to death by a cast-member wielding what was meant to be a fake knife . . .
Fans of Agatha Christie, The Thursday Murder Club, Anthony Horowitz, Alexander McCall Smith, M.C. Beaton and Faith Martin will love this hilarious cozy traditional mystery series featuring one of the funniest antiheroes in crime fiction. Written over a fifty-year-period, it perfectly captures life and contemporary attitudes in 1970s London - and beyond!
