Book Overview
Simon Brett again takes us behind the scenes in a back-stage drama of crime and detection. This time its 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. Bretts 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?

Very enjoyable book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Murder in the Title is an excellent example of the humorous murder mystery genre. This book, like all of Simon Brett's Charles Paris novels, is centered around the English theatre scene, complete with egotistical actors, inefficient theatre staff and back-biting galore. This particular book has some extremely hillarious dialogues that will make you laugh out loud. If you enjoy a mix of murder and humor, like Charlotte MacLeod, Lillian Jackson Braun, and Elizabeth Peters, with a bit of theatre and British dialogue thrown in, you will love this book. I highly recommend it.
