About this listen

After a long period of "resting", life is looking up for Charles Paris, who has been cast in a new production of Hamlet. But rehearsals are fraught. Ophelia is played by Katrina Selsey, who won the role through a television talent show. Hamlet himself is also played by a reality TV contestant, Jared Root. But when the company reaches the first staging post of their tour, matters get more serious, with one member of the company seriously injured in what appears to be an accident, and another dead. Once again, Charles Paris is forced to don the mantle of amateur detective to get to the bottom of the mystery.

It's always annoying when the narrator is changed. Bill Nighy is, in my opinion, the best Charles Parish and Simon B a close second. not so keen on this one.

Most enjoyable and well read. Good for a journey. The dramatised versions with Bill Nighy are fun but you lose some of the plot with them.

Enjoy this on the go!

This book was a pale imitation of the Simon Brett Charles Paris books of the past. A weak story, lacklustre performance and none of the wit and sparkle of earlier books. A genuine disappointment as I have been a devoted fan.

Very disappointing

Got as far as chapter 10 then couldn’t stand the narrator for another minute. When Simon Brett does his own narration the stories come alive and are thoroughly enjoyable. I skipped to the end to see whodunnit and then put this one down to a waste of a credit.
