About THE CINDERELLA KILLER a witty and addictive cozy murder mystery
A middle-aged actor – and sometimes sleuth – in a classic Christmas pantomime! One star under fire . . . Two not-to-be-messed-with women . . . And THE CINDERELLA KILLER!
’Tis the season to be jolly for Charles Paris, who has a minor part in the Empire Theatre Eastbourne’s Christmas production of Cinderella. But Charles’ festive cheer is soon under threat when he discovers that the star turn, US actor Kenny Polizzi, knows nothing about the art of the traditional British pantomime – he’s just happy to have fled to England.
What is Kenny running from? The unexpected appearance of not only his obsessed stalker, Gloria van der Groot, but also his estranged wife leaves Kenny rattled – and when Charles finds Kenny dead under Eastbourne Pier, he’s drawn into the star’s complicated personal life. Determined to find the killer and prove his own innocence, is Charles in danger of a metaphorical custard pie in his face – or something much worse?
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!
