About this listen

When showbiz gets ugly...

The world of showbiz comes to Bexford when the new series of hit TV show Foul Murder is launched there. Soon, life imitates art as a murder is committed, live on stage.

Luckily, Detective Sergeant Guy Poole and Detective Inspector Sam Brock are in the audience to take charge of the scene.

When it becomes clear that one of their own is the prime suspect, they are determined to help prove his innocence, no matter how annoying he is.

Book two of the Brook and Poole detective series continues to delight. Unusual in that the two lead protagonists are both male, the plot itself takes second stage to the development of the characters.
A new series of a popular TV show is launched, episode one to be transmitted live. Instead, the theatre goes dark and an actor dies. But why? And how?

Delicious fun, performed by Nigel Patterson, and recommended.

"Bit of an odd one, sir."

Found on audible plus and so far this and the previous book in the series have been solid listening with tight story lines and good characters. Not the most inventive or twisty plot but listened to these in just a few sittings and looking forward to the next instalment

Good listen. I like the way relationships are growing quickly between the characters in what is a short book. Looking forward to the next one.

Another enjoyable mystery in the company of Brock and Poole. Unusual characters and an entertaining plot. An excellent choice especially as its a freebie. Well worth a listen.

Whodunnit with good mystery and humour. Highly recommend.
Am hooked but discovered only 3 out of 5 books in series on audible and no other audible books for this author... understand the costs to create audibles but such a pity that quality writers like these are not able to be automatically audible. I am a MC Beaton fan and thought I had found another audible author.
Love narrator's voice...reminds me of a voice from the past but cannot place the character.

Good old-style team, mystery with subtle humour
