A long-time actor - and part-time sleuth - snatching up a minor part in a sitcom
The crew mysteriously dying one by one . . .
The cast members acting most peculiar . . .
A fun sitcom turning into SITUATION TRAGEDY

Struggling actor Charles Paris has landed a solid - although minor - TV role that will give him some financial security over the next few months. But the constant waiting between takes, plus putting up with his fellow cast members - especially rude production assistant Sadie Wainwright - make it a harder job than he'd bargained for.

When Sadie is found dead, Charles has to put his amateur sleuthing skills to use again - and everybody has a strong motive to kill the unpopular PA. But with other members of the production crew dying seemingly accidentally, Charles just might have a serial killer to chase. Will he be able to solve the string of killings before the culprit turns his focus on the cast . . . with Charles next in line?

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!
