From Library Journal
In his latest stage performance, Charles Paris hits a new low in his less-than-stellar career, for in The Message Is Murder, he plays a corpse. As this part allows him too much backstage time, he quite often is dead drunk by the time he makes his appearance. But when accidents begin to happen, Charles, amateur sleuth, is pulled out of his despair and is once again searching for the culprit. The accidents escalate until a death occurs behind the scenes. Was it suicide or murder? Brett will keep the reader and Charles guessing until the end. More than a mystery, Murder in the Title is a glimpse backstage at a genteel but failing small provincial theater. Simon Prebble's narration of this showstopper is excellent; highly recommended for all public libraries.DTheresa Connors, Arkansas Tech Univ., Russellville

Book Description
Simon Brett again takes us behind the scenes in a back-stage drama of crime and detection. This time it’s the world of provincial rep, with an historic theatre threatened with closure by unscrupulous property developers. And the theatre management seems to be digging its own grave: a deplorable choice of current productions; a painfully incompetent director; bizarre accidents happening on stage. Charles, as Mr. Brett’s readers know, is an amateur detective and a professional actor. As an actor his career is still on the way down, with not much further to go. But as a detective he goes from strength to strength. He soon establishes that someone is deliberately sabotaging the company. All this culminates in a spectacular suicide. Or is it murder, as Charles Paris suspects? --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
