When Andrea Gower’s body is discovered in an editing suite, with gashes in her wrists and two razor blades nearby, the cause of death seems obvious, with the words she spoke only hours before taking on a completely different meaning....

Working as a radio actor for the BBC was all new to Charles Paris: a new kind of work, a new jargon, and a lot of new faces - some of them quite pretty. But Charles, amateur sleuth and fond of the odd tipple, can’t get the dead girl out of his mind. And when the trail leads him to New York and back, by way of a DJ, an American conman, and another dead body, it becomes only a matter of time before the clues start falling into place....

Not up to his normal books for me. I may be being unfair as I have only read his books before, this is the first audio. So maybe that is why I found the story confusing .

Convoluted

Once again read by the author, this book goes transatlantic and back to the BBC. There is a lot going on, but clever writing helps to make it easy to follow.

Another great book by Simon Brett

Very fun plot line, and cool side plot in the radio. I could do with less Charles internal monologue about women he finds attractive, but I guess the book is out quite a while..

Enjoyed the plot thoroughly!
