About this listen

Charles Paris is on his way up again, career-wise. No longer ‘resting’ or playing a corpse in a cupboard, he finds himself doubling almost every role in a provincial production of the play dreaded by superstitious theatrefolk: Macbeth. The three principals could hardly be more assorted: Macbeth is played by TV gameshow personality George Birkitt; Lady Macbeth comes straight from Stratford, an intense young woman with Method in her madness; and Duncan is that notorious ham, Warnock Belvedere, who feels that he’s in the great tradition of actor-managers.

With such a cast, sparks are bound to fly, and it’s not long before Charles Paris finds himself in the familiar role of private eye when death strikes in the night...

"Old soak so literally demonstrated."

Charles Paris is finally back in work ('Be thankful!'), rehearsing several small appearances in the Scottish Play - what can possible to wrong? Read, this time with aplomb by the author, Simon Brett, this the twelfth in the series of stories about a struggling actor who so often finds himself in the position of reluctant investigator. The mystery isn't too taxing but the behind the scenes peeps into the production of the play and of the actors themselves is glorious. Told in the first person by Charles himself, the book is funny, an absorbing and easy read, with delicious throw away lines like 'I've had so many hairs of the dog I could have knitted myself my own St.Bernard'

I am very fond of the Charles Paris character created by Simon Brett. A failure in his acting career, his marriage a d attempts as sobriety, he still remains a delight. Recommended
