About A SERIES OF MURDERS a witty and addictive cozy murder mystery

A jobbing actor – and sometimes sleuth – plays a policeman in a new TV show One death is surely a tragic accident . . . But two deaths? It looks like A SERIES OF MURDERS . . .

For once Charles Paris has a stable job, playing the role of brainless Sergeant Clump in the new TV series Stanislas Braid, a detective show based on the crime novels of the inimitable W.T. Wintergreen.

On the first day of filming, after a power struggle between the show’s leading actor and the director, Charles seeks a drink in the West End Television bar to escape the chaos. But his plans take a dramatically dark turn when he discovers the body of Sippy Stokes, one of the lead actresses on the show, lying dead in the prop room.

Whilst the rest of the crew believe the death of the unpromising actress was an unfortunate accident, Charles isn’t convinced. And his suspicions only grow as other ‘accidents’ plague the production, prompting him to launch his own investigation. Can Charles solve the case and catch the killer before the director calls ‘cut’?

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!
