About DEAD GIVEAWAY a witty and addictive cozy murder mystery

A struggling actor – and sometimes sleuth – takes a job he can’t refuse . . . A pilot episode for a brand new game show One man murdered whilst the cameras are rolling . . . Charles Paris is on the case and hoping for a DEAD GIVEAWAY!

In the cut-throat world of showbiz, jobbing actor Charles Paris reluctantly takes a minor role on a pilot for a new TV game show, If the Cap Fits.

It’s by no means Charles’ dream role, but he doesn’t have the luxury of being picky. The opportunity to work with some of Britain’s most famous television stars and the allure of a visit to the West End Television bar sweeten the deal – perhaps one more so than the other!

The cast also includes popular game show host Barrett Doran, who is less than charming when the cameras aren’t rolling . . .

When Barrett drops dead in the middle of filming and one of the producers is accused of murdering the star, Charles – with a growing reputation as an amateur sleuth – is enlisted to find the true killer.

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!
