A Series of Murders 
******Charles Paris is in clover. He has been contracted for three whole months to play 
brainless bobby Sergeant Clump, foil to the charismatic amateur sleuth, 
Stanislas Braid, in a TV series of that name.

Recourse to the Bell's is still needed, however, to get him through a day's filming-
one made all the more arduous by the pompous posturings of the show's star, 
and the constant outraged interruptions of the ancient author whose detective 
novels are being adapted. Indeed, there is plenty of friction about, but when a 
particularly unpromising actress is killed, crushed to death, there seems no 
reason to doubt it was an accident...except in Charles's mind. Leaving behind 
a trail of broken resolutions and empty bottles, Charles indulges in some sleuthing 
of his own. He may lack the panache of the suave Stanislas Braid, 
but unlike the great detective, the danger Paris encounters is only too real.

******Who killed Marius Steen, the theatrical tycoon with a fortune to leave 
his young mistress Jacqui? And who killed Bill Sweet, the shady blackmailer 
with a supply of compromising photographs? Charles Paris, a middle-aged 
actor who keeps going on booze and women, takes to detection in 
Cast, In Order of Disappearance, by assuming a variety of roles, among them 
that of a Scotland Yard Detective-Sergeant, and the results are both comic and dramatic. 
As the mythical McWhirter of the Yard, he actually precipitates the crime; as one of the 
blackmailer's victims, he finds himself in bed with the blackmailer's wife; as a small-part 
player in a horror film (The Zombie Walks), he gets shot at by a murderer. And he arrives 
at the solution by way of the petrol crisis and an abortive attack of the German measles. 
It's a light-hearted frolic that is, at the same time, a beautifully ingenious puzzle, and it fizzes with fun and wit.

******Murder at the BBC? It's almost unimaginable. When Andrea Gower, the beautiful 
studio manager is murdered, the producer's only concern is the dead air emanating 
from the transmitter. But Charles Paris, the now famous actor/detective has come to 
Broadcasting House to give a talk, and ends up as a mystery voice on a showbiz quiz show. 
Paris has to wallow through layers of BBC scandal, and uncovers a complicated fraud-with 
clues concealed in seemingly innocent announcements. These clues lead to a trap that is 
                nearly the end of Mr. Paris in The Dead Side of the Mike.

******Simon Brett introduces a sparkling new series of crime whodunnits starring 
the redoubtable Carole Seddon and her worldly wise accomplice, Jude.

Very little disturbs the ordered calm of Fethering, a self-contained retirement settlement 
on England's southern coast. Which is precisely why Carole Seddon has chosen to reside there. 
So the last thing Carole expects to encounter in Fethering is a new neighbour with but one name 
and an obviously colourful past. 'Jude' was not really Fethering . . . but neither was the body Carole 
found on the beach. A body, it has to be said, that has disappeared by the time the police arrive. 
Only Jude is ready to believe what her neighbour says she saw - and from that moment on, 
                  the two women are resolved to turn detectives.

******Simon Brett again takes us behind the scenes in a back-stage drama of crime 
and detection in Murder In The Title. This time it's the world of provincial rep, with 
an historic theatre threatened with closure by unscrupulous property developers. 
And the theatre management seems to be digging its own grave: a deplorable choice 
of current productions; a painfully incompetent director; bizarre accidents happening 
on stage.

Charles is an amateur detective and a professional actor. As an actor his career is on 
the way down, with not much further to go. But as a detective he goes from strength 
to strength. He soon establishes that someone is deliberately sabotaging the company. 
All this culminates in a spectacular suicide. Or is it murder, as Charles Paris suspects?
