"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

_______________________
A middle-aged actor - and sometimes sleuth - on his summer hols
A British seaside town in September
A variety show, with an electric headline act . . .
It's all good fun until A COMEDIAN DIES
(Mostly) out of work actor Charles Paris is indulging in a particularly British tradition: taking a seaside summer holiday, and hiding from the rain. A little less traditional is his current company: Frances, his long-estranged wife.
Today's dubious (indoor) entertainment takes the form of the Sun 'n' Funtime variety show at Hunstanton's decaying Winter Gardens, headlined by a young stage comedian who's slated to be the next big thing.
His act is more electrifying than anyone could have expected: as soon as he picks up his guitar and mike, he sensationally drops dead. Electrocuted, it becomes clear, in a tragic accident caused by faulty wiring.
But Charles, who's starting to worry about how often he stumbles upon corpses, quickly has reason to doubt the coroner's conclusions. With suspects aplenty popping up, was it death by misadventure - or good old-fashioned murder?
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!
