About A RECONSTRUCTED CORPSE a witty and addictive cozy murder mystery

A middle-aged actor – and sometimes sleuth – tackles true-crime TV But is he playing a missing person . . . or a murder victim? The lines between showbiz and real life are blurred And the spotlight is on A RECONSTRUCTED CORPSE!

Charles Paris is playing his most unusual role yet: portraying missing man Martin Earnshaw in Public Enemies, a crime reconstruction programme on ITV.

It seems to be a one-off engagement, which suits Charles – the raging egos of the producers, presenters and police are just as intense as the search for the missing property developer . . . But Charles soon finds himself playing the role of murder victim, when severed body parts begin to appear!

His now recurring role allows him an insight into the world of true crime, and he’s convinced there is something amiss with the TV production, who are revelling in their soaring ratings, as well as Martin’s publicity hungry wife. Once again, Charles decides to don his detective hat and uncover the truth . . .

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!
