Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Charles Paris travels to Edinburgh to give a performance of his own one-man show but becomes the investigator of a mysterious murder. Simon Brett reads his own work in a resonant and engaging voice. The listener is drawn into the case by the depth and feeling of Brett's portrayal of his characters. The range of Brett's expressions allows him to give each of the characters a distinct sound, adding to the flavor of the work as a whole. The flow of the work is well-paced, and this results in a program easy to follow and easy to listen to. S.J.L. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.
Book Description
Charles Paris returns again, in a fringe show at the Edinburgh Festival, with another nubile girl to provoke him, and his accommodating wife to console him, and a gory murder to challenge him. Edinburgh and the Festival are both background and foreground with Charles flitting between a “revisualised” Midsummer Night’s Dream, a “mixed-media satire”, a late-night revue, and his own one-man show on Thomas Hood—and with a fading pop star as the first victim, a bomb scare in Holyrood Palace, and a suicide leap from the top of the Rock. Charles copes splendidly with the Festival, with his affair with the girl with the navy eyes, and with a most complex murder investigation.
