A Series of Murders

Charles Paris, often-out-of-work actor, is gainfully employed as Sergeant Clump in what promises to be a long-running Stanislas Braid TV series, based on rather dated 1930s detective novels. He discovers a young actress's body crushed beneath a props case - and sets off yet again to prove his hunch that a death is murder, not an accident. Many of the actors and production staff had cause to dislike Sippy, but surely not enough to kill her? With revealing insights into the behind-the-camera world of television, well known author Simon Brett brings us another witty and comic mystery which masks serious themes such as love, loyalty, commitment and courage. Filming in a typical dreadful rehearsal space in London, and in appalling weather in Corfe Castle, Dorset, Charles solves the mystery to expose a most unsuspected murderer.
